Having read many times about normalizing quantum mechanics to agree with classical equations, can you please give an explanation or an example of the mathematics involved?
I have looked in Wikipedia, but was unable to find anything. Maybe I am using the wrong keywords. Is there an article or an introductory-level book on showing that quantum mechanics agrees with classical physics?

Have you looked at a QM textbook? Most of them discuss this.

I have just bought "The Ideas of Particle Physics - An Introduction for Scientists".
 
Thanks for giving me the keywords "correspondence principle" to find information on Wikipedia.
