AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around finding a suitable quantum mechanics book tailored for mathematicians, comparable to well-regarded texts like Arnold's for Classical Mechanics or Wald's for General Relativity. The original poster expresses difficulty in locating a resource that explicitly addresses quantum mechanics from a mathematical perspective. Participants in the thread suggest exploring various titles that bridge the gap between mathematics and quantum theory, emphasizing the need for a rigorous approach that aligns with the mathematical standards sought by the inquirer. The conversation highlights the importance of clarity and depth in understanding quantum concepts through a mathematical lens.

I hope this hasn't been asked before. I searched for it, but did not find it. And I haven't really found anything that explicitly is a Quantum book for mathematicians on the web. But it's probably right under my nose.

My question then is what is a good Quantum book for mathematicians? Something along the standards of Arnold for Classical Mechanics or Wald for General Relativity.

Thanks.

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

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...
