hey everyone,
could any of you recommend a good introductory quantum physics book? the thing is...i'm just interested in physics in terms of curiosity. I'm not doing physics major or anything. i always keep hearing how relativity and quantum theory are the two most believed models, but each specializes in things the other doesn't. i took a course in uni. that introduced me to relativity, so now i often get curious about what quantum physics is all about. so, that said...any suggestions?

At what level in terms of mathematics?

The Strange World of Quantum Mechanics by Daniel F. Styer is good, but non-mathematical.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by David J. Griffiths is a standard mathematical introduction for physics majors.
 
thanx a lot...i'll try the non mathematical one first
