Good books for a 3rd year quantum mechanics class?

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for a 3rd year quantum mechanics class focus on finding texts with an informal style. While the recommended text is "Quantum Mechanics" by Franz Mandl, some reviews describe it as dry. "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths is suggested as a potential alternative, though there are concerns about its comprehensiveness for a third-year curriculum. Ben Shankar's work is also mentioned as having an informal style and being suitable for advanced study. Overall, the discussion emphasizes the need for engaging and accessible quantum mechanics resources.

Hey all,

Can anybody recommend any good books for a 3rd year quantum mechanics class? The recommended text is Quantum mechanics by Franz Mandl but on the reviews some ppl say it is very dry. I'm looking for a book with an informal style that i can read cover to cover like Griffiths introduction to electrodynamics. I was wondering about Griffiths introduction to quantum mechanics but not sure if it covers everything needed for a 3 year class?

Any help is appreciated.

Ben

Shankar has an informal style and should be advanced enough for a 3rd year course.
