Problems and solutions in quantum mechanics by Tamvakis Kyriakos

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the effectiveness of various quantum mechanics textbooks for learners and exam preparation. David Griffiths' "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" is widely regarded as a classic and highly beneficial for beginners, providing a solid foundation in the subject. However, some participants express a need for quicker revision resources due to time constraints for upcoming exams. Suggestions include Griffiths for foundational understanding and Robert Scherrer's "Quantum Mechanics: An Accessible Introduction," which also covers essential mathematical concepts. A participant emphasizes the importance of prior knowledge in classical mechanics and linear algebra to fully grasp quantum mechanics, noting that while Griffiths is excellent for introductions, mastering the subject requires a deeper understanding beyond just using the textbook.

I have never read about the book. David Griffth 's introduction to quantum mechanics is better for learners. It is a classic.
 
yeah it's good if you are starting this course ..i want to actually practice something for some exam and wanted to do it little fast ..griffith's would take a little while ! i would be more awesome if someone can suggest me some book that's beneficial for quick revision of concepts or something ??

I have learned quantum mechanics 6 years ago. I got my PHD in theoritical physics now. When I studied QM for the first time , I can't understand until I meet Griffith's book. It is very worth reading. I give you a suggestion that there is not an easy way to study QM.
Your must be familiar to classical mechanics of Newton's form, Lagrange and Hamilton's form, linear algebra, partial differential equation. With that kind of knowledge, you can study QM. Without this kind of knowlege, you may learn how to use QM, you can't understand QM.
 
Griffiths is definitely number one for an introduction; however, Quantum Mechanics: An accessible introduction by Robert Scherrer is an excellent text as well as it includes mathematics chapters on linear algebra and the such.

As for the book you mentioned, I have never heard of it.
 
For the following four books, has anyone used them in a course or for self study? Compiler Construction Principles and Practice 1st Edition by Kenneth C Louden Programming Languages Principles and Practices 3rd Edition by Kenneth C Louden, and Kenneth A Lambert Programming Languages 2nd Edition by Allen B Tucker, Robert E Noonan Concepts of Programming Languages 9th Edition by Robert W Sebesta If yes to either, can you share your opinions about your personal experience using them.

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!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
