I want to know about the book 'quantum mechanics: the theoretical minimum' book by Leonard Susskind. Is it a book worth buying

What's your background in maths and physics?
Is that from a long time ago? Have you ever studied QM?Sherlin Pinto said:Not bad I hold a master's in physics
Thanks for your reply. If you know about the book please let me know about the level and content of the book. I also would like to know about how the concepts explained in the same, if possible a detailed review.Vanadium 50 said:Maybe.
If the answer is vague, well so was the question. You get out of it what you put in it.
Not long ago. I just completed last year and I have studied QM. I just wanted a better understanding? so I want to know if the conceptual explanation in it is good as it is the first time I came across this book.PeroK said:Is that from a long time ago? Have you ever studied QM?
Thank youvanhees71 said:I think it's a very nice introduction. It uses the "qbit-first approach", i.e., it explains most of the formalism using the most simple example of a 2D Hilbert space, describing, e.g., a spin of ##s=1/2##. It avoids all the mathematical trouble of observables with continuous spectra but at the end also wave mechanics is treated.
