Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics.

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for books on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, particularly for beginners. Participants suggest several titles, highlighting "Phillips - Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" as a favorite for its accessibility. "Modern Physics" by Krane is recommended for non-physics majors, while "Quantum Physics" by Eisberg and Resnick is noted for physics majors. Other suggestions include "Introduction to the Structure of Matter" by Brehm and Mullin, and more advanced texts like "Gasiorowicz," "Griffiths," "Cohen-Tannoudji," "David Bohm," and "Landau." The conversation emphasizes the importance of both practical problem-solving and philosophical understanding in learning quantum mechanics, advocating for starting with elementary texts before progressing to more complex materials.

Hi friends.

Would you guys suggest me some very good books on the Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics? I'd ne higly obliged.

Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
i like this one a lot: phillips - introduction to quantum mechanics

it s a beginners book but that's what i am and i like it :)
 
I like Modern Physics by Krane. It's a book that's used to teach modern physics to nonphysics majors (eg: engineers). If you want an introduction that's geared toward physics majors, then I recommend first Quantum Physics by Eisberg and Resnick, and second Introduction to the Structure of Matter by Brehm and Mullin.
 
go for gasiorowicz or better still griffiths... i believe there are two aspects to learning quantum mechanics... you "do" quantum, as in you do numericals and know how to deal with problems and situations... and you "understand" quantum, which is basically understanding the philosophy of quantum mechanics... one should always "do" quantum mechanics first from elementary texts like gasiorowicz, griffiths, resnick and eisberg and then go for more detailed books like cohen-tannoudji, david bohm, landau etc...
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
