Quantum Physics Math: Learn & Understand Easily

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding effective resources for learning the mathematics of quantum mechanics, particularly for those with an engineering background. A recommended self-instruction book is "Quantum Mechanics Demystified," noted for its clear presentation of higher-level math and affordability. Another suggested text is "Quantum Mechanics" by Robert Scherrer, although it is considered expensive and lacks depth in complex topics. Additionally, "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths is frequently recommended by lecturers for its accessibility and availability, though it may take some time to adjust to its content.

hi al..I have just now started to learn quantum physics! previously I had some part of it indirectly in my undergraduate electrical engineering.However,the math part seems to be difficult for me! I want to learn completely the math part.I need one such good material forlearning the math of QM.please do suggest me one! the book should give a proper insight.thanks!

I am an engineering graduate too who has tried to teach myself some quantum mechanics.

Surprisingly, the self instruction book "Quantum Mechanics Demystified" presents the higher level math very well. You can get a used copy on the internet for under $10.
 
for a good text i recommennd i quantum mechanics by robert scherrer, but its expensive, and very light on complex subjects.
introduction to quantum mechanics by griffiths is the usual choice for lecturers and that one is quite cheap and widely available, takes a while to get used to though.
 
Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
