This is of great help to students who study quantum chemistry but want to further understand quantum mechanics. This book is consistent in spirit in the deduction of harmonic oscillations and angular momentum, and at the same time has a good explanation of Dirac notation. It needs to combine with the teacher’s detailed formula deduction in the classroom to compliment the author’s lack of deduction details, but this does not affect the value of this book as an introduction to beginners. ⭐This book is very suitable as a textbook, but its writing style is not suitable for self-study. It would probably be a good idea to know your vector calculus as well as electrodynamics. Regardless, I would recommend this book to anyone with a foundation of multivariable calculus, some DE, and- of course- the classical mechanics prerequisite. There is usually only one per section, and I think some sections could certainly use more. The one (albeit minor) complaint I have is the deficit of example problems.

The overall visual presentation is pretty standard, but clean. There is no worry of stumbling across outdated information. There is hardly any hand-holding, and solutions to the problems (written by Griffiths himself) are available online as PDFs.As the third edition of this text, it is very modern. The problem sets are not easy, for the most part. What I find most remarkable is how Griffiths’ seems to know the reader personally offering derivations or further explanation at the perfect time. Everything he says is perpetuated with concise explanations and purpose. ⭐Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, along with Griffiths’ other magnificent piece: Introduction to Electrodynamics together, are two of the best undergraduate textbooks available.Professor Griffiths’ approach in this one is pretty mathematical, though he doesn’t ever sacrifice conceptual reasoning for mathematical sophistication. Other than that, great content, and really fun and engaging writing style. The electron spin singlet state falls out of some nice derivation but doesn’t even get called entangled until much later the EPR paradox and the Bohm inequality are in the afterword.

The only aspect I would have loved to see more discussion of is quantum entanglement. First part is theory, second part has lots of approximations and techniques like perturbation theory. Unlike other quantum mechanics textbooks that start with matrix mechanics, this book starts with the Schroedinger equation, but then ends up really nicely deriving everything else step by step. ⭐The book provides a good introduction to quantum mechanics.The seller delivered the book on time and it was in excellent condition Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
