Superb, utterly superb.

Got my copy this morning. Only quibble is I would have done relativity this way:
http://www2.physics.umd.edu/~yakovenk/teaching/Lorentz.pdf
But what was chosen is still good.
QM is developed from symmetry, the only thing not derived is the Born Rule. QM is simply group theory applied to a complex field just as mechanics is group theory applied to particles.
Very very highly recommended.
Must be done after a course is multi-variable calculus and linear algebra, but that's all. However I would study something like Susskind first.
You want to learn QM and a lot of other physics as well this is your book. Like the Feynman Lectures get it and devour it.
Thanks
Bill
