Quantum Mechanics Intro Book Recommendation

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking an introductory text on quantum mechanics that aligns with the Susskind lectures, "What is Quantum Mechanics, A Physics Adventure" by Transnational College of LEX is highly recommended. This book is noted for its clarity, comprehensive coverage, and step-by-step mathematical explanations, making it accessible for beginners. Additionally, "Quantum Physics" by the same publisher is also suggested as an excellent resource for understanding the fundamentals of quantum mechanics.

Currently going through the Susskind lectures on QM & looking for any recommendations for an introductory text that would be at about the same level. Not trying to become a physicist, just want to learn the basics

The best book that I have ever read about quantum physics is:

What is Quantum Mechanics, A Physics Adventure by Transnational College of LEX

It is a Japanese translation, but is easy to understand, covers a lot, and explains all the math step by step.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

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!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
