Quantum mechanics mathematics

[Ahmad Kishki]

I am self studying quantum mechanics from griffiths at the moment, and the formalism chapter (to me) seems to be an overview, and since most of the linear algebra i did was in real numbers, most of the stuff are new to me. So i want you to recommend a reference for math to go along with griffiths.

Thank you

Hello, there is a quantum mechanics book by Shankar which has a fairly considerable linear algebra review as the first chapter or two. By virtue of it being in a quantum mechanics book it focuses on the essential topics for vector spaces over the complex numbers.

I used Arfken "Mathematical Methods for Physicists", which has been through a few editions since I was an undergrad.

You might be able to get by with something a little less weighty. For example, Schaum's Outline of Complex Variables is pretty cheap and has tons of worked examples. If you are really keen you might get both.
