Quantum Theory Books for Understanding Derivations

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around seeking recommendations for books on quantum theory that include derivations of formulas. The focus is on understanding the logic behind quantum theory through these derivations.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses a desire to learn about quantum theory and asks for book recommendations that include derivations to understand the logic of the topic.
  • Another participant challenges the ability to provide recommendations, suggesting that the original poster (OP) has not provided enough information for a meaningful response.
  • A later reply from the OP seeks clarification on how to properly format their question, indicating a lack of familiarity with the forum's norms.
  • Another participant asks about the OP's background in mathematics and physics, specifically whether they have taken any post-secondary courses.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on how to proceed with the request for book recommendations, as there is a challenge regarding the adequacy of the OP's initial question.

Contextual Notes

The discussion highlights a potential limitation in the OP's question due to insufficient detail about their background and specific needs, which may affect the ability to provide tailored recommendations.

hi, I really want to dig valuable things out of quantum theory, also I have a big eagerness to see the derivation of formulas to understand the logic of this topic. Could you recommend me some nice books which may meet my needs I expressed at the beginning ?

No, we can't. Is it really this hard to see that the OP has not enough information for us to give a decent answer?
 
Pardon, How can I ask the previous question ? I new at this forum, so I am not still used to use the proper question format.

What mathematics and physics do you know? Have you taken any post-secondary courses or studied at that level?
