What are some helpful resources for self-studying quantum mechanics?

[Rodia]

I'm a math major who is studying quantum mechanics on my own for fun. I signed up because I want a place to ask conceptual questions or explanations of certain things (since I don't have anyone to ask in real life). I might ask a question soon. I'm currently working through Shankar's principles of quantum mechanics, and so far it has been enjoyable.

A warm welcome to PF

You mean Ramamurti Shankar's book? Yes, it's a good book, better than Griffiths I think.

In addition, the following are the three main sections in PF. You should explore them well:

1. The main forums, that you see on the home page.

2. The Insights Blog (also available on the top row (header section)). In short, they have been described as "wonder of the web". The blog contains articles that help in learning topics to a great extent.

3. The Videos (also available in the header section). The media gallery now has some great videos and lecture courses in almost every field in science, and they provide an audio-visual learning opportunity.

You might want to check out the Quantum section in the media gallery under Physics. There are some very good videos and lecture courses here.

Enjoy your time here.

With regards,
Wrichik.

Thanks, I will try to make use of those. Looks like a lot of useful stuff there.
