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.

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...
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
