Hi Guys,

I am taking a quantum mechanics course next semester that follows Sakurai's book. I was wondering if there was some mathematics I should study over break in preparation for this course.

I have taken so far:
Calc 1-3
ODEs
PDEs
Linear Algebra
An elementary course in group theory

Ill be taking a complex analysis class concurrently.

It's a two semester course that covers the entire book.

Those are enough.
Cool, thanks.
 
Read the first chapter of Shankar and also use McIntyre as a supplemental text.

A supplemental text to Shankar or to Sakurai?
