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.

has anybody read this book?? DO you think solution to questions of this book are good ??

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.
 
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
