Mathematics of Quantum Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
Resources for understanding the Mathematics of Quantum Mechanics are sought, particularly for a course that is not heavily mathematical. Recommendations include websites, books, and online courses that are accessible to average Physics students. Key topics of interest are Hilbert Spaces, various types of Operators (including Unitary, Hermitian, and Projection), Tensor Products, Angular Momentum & Rotation, and Density Matrices. One suggested book is available on Amazon, and it is advised to explore introductory chapters in reputable Quantum Mechanics textbooks for foundational knowledge.

I am seeking resources that cover the Mathematics of Quantum Mechanics in order to prepare for an exam. The course is not rigorously mathematical, and as such, I am looking for materials comprehensible to the average Physics student. Websites, books, online courses/lecture notes are all acceptable.

In particular, it would be good if the following topics are covered:

Hilbert Spaces, Operators (Unitary, Hermitian, Projection etc.), Tensor Products, Angular Momentum & Rotation, Density Matrices

Any suggestions at all would be appreciated.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
