Quantum Physics Math: Learn & Understand Easily

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for learning the mathematics of quantum mechanics (QM). Participants recommend "Quantum Mechanics Demystified" for its effective presentation of higher-level math, available for under $10. Additionally, "Quantum Mechanics" by Robert Scherrer is suggested, though it is noted to be expensive and light on complex topics. "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by David Griffiths is also highlighted as a popular and affordable choice among educators, albeit requiring some adjustment for new learners.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of quantum mechanics concepts
  • Familiarity with mathematical principles relevant to physics
  • Experience with self-directed learning techniques
  • Access to academic resources or libraries for book procurement
NEXT STEPS
  • Purchase "Quantum Mechanics Demystified" for foundational math insights
  • Explore "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths for comprehensive coverage
  • Investigate "Quantum Mechanics" by Robert Scherrer for advanced topics
  • Research online courses or lectures on quantum mechanics mathematics
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, engineering graduates, and self-learners seeking to deepen their understanding of quantum mechanics mathematics.

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.
