Just a question regarding Q.M text by griffith.

Wondering if your professor using this as main text, how good will it prepare you for Graduate Q.M course. Would you recommend to simultaneously study material from some other text. I wonder because we are finishing chapter 2 and problems do not seem that challenging, just bunch of integral evaluation and some derivations.

I used it for my undergrad Quantum course. It's a terrible book.

 

[haplo]

are you in grad school now?

Yes.

I highly recommend picking up something like Shankar to supplement Griffiths. Griffiths' book is, at best, watered down, and at worst, completely lacking important discussions.

thats the impression i am having, while comparing it to Q.M by Robinett.

thanks for reply
