Could somebody recommend an introductory book or dvd suitable for self study?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It would help if you tell us how much physics and math you already know, and at what level you want to study QM. Also, I suggest you look around the Science Books forum (where I've moved your question) for earlier discussions about QM books.
 
Let me recommend: Quantum mechanics, Concepts and applications, Nouredine Zettili, wiley

I have completed the physics 1,2 and 3 dvd's from mathtutordvd.com. I have also studied calculus 1 and 2 with a spattering of calculus 3. I am loooking for a book which would give me a good foundation and explains the concepts clearly.
