Nolting quantum mechnaics textbook

[Ahmed1029]

I'm curious what you guys think of the Nolting undergraduate physics series, particularly his 2 books on quantum mechanics? Are they sufficient? Are there any errors in them?

Have they been translated to English? I have not seen anything negative about them, except being relatively unknown outside Germany.

Yes! All the nine volume are now available in English. I'm currently reading his second volume and I think it's terrific; I'm just making sure there isn't any scientific error in any of them, being relatively unknown as you said.

I've not looked into them for more than 20 years. When I was a student and also a teaching assistant, I didn't like them too much. Particularly the volume about electrodynamics was a bit confusing for me as well as the students in my tutorials in its very sloppy use of the Dirac-$\delta$ distribution. Since they seem to be pretty popular among the students also today, I guess, they are better now.
