Physical Chemistry: a Molecular Approach, McQuarrie

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around seeking clarity and support for understanding Quantum Mechanics (QM) for beginners. A participant expresses frustration with a course they previously dropped due to difficulty in grasping the material. They are looking for recommendations for supplementary texts to aid their understanding. Another participant suggests "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by A.C. Philips and mentions that the Quantum Mechanics chapter in Atkins is also helpful. The focus is on finding resources that can provide better clarity for those new to QM.
