Hi you guys! I was wondering if any of you have any thoughts about these books by Thomas F. Jordan, from DOVER PUBLICATIONS

Linear Operators for Quantum Mechanics
ISBN10: 0486453294
ISBN13: 9780486453293


Quantum Mechanics in Simple Matrix Form
ISBN10: 0486445305
ISBN13: 9780486445304

Iam very bad at matrix representation of Quantum mechanics, and I will have my first real course on this subjectin a few weeks. The main book for the Course is Sakurai's Modern Quantum mechanics.

Cheers!
