Description
Changes and additions to the new edition of this classic textbook include a new chapter on symmetries, new problems and examples, improved explanations, more numerical problems to be worked on a computer, new applications to solid state physics, and consolidated treatment of time-dependent potentials.
Reviews / Votes
'The new updated edition looks great in terms of visual streamlining.' Fahim Ahmed, Central Michigan University 'The text distinguishes itself for clarity, readability and rigour, and completeness of coverage, including more advanced topics like scattering, quantum dynamics and Bell's theorem, therefore pointing in the direction of information theory and quantum computing. ' Stefano Leoni, Cardiff University 'In this book, the goals for each chapter are easy to follow and to teach as well. Also, it can be used in mixed classes with Chemistry and Physics students.' Andre Tavares, Charleston Southern University 'This text is one of the best for an introductory course in Quantum Mechanics. The content is thorough yet easy to understand. Griffiths has a way of presenting the material in a concise and digestible manner, without being too verbose yet also explaining concepts clearly.' Jason Barlow, Springfield College 'I love the book, it is recognized as being one of the go-to texts for Quantum Mechanics for good reason.' E. Wes Bethel, San Francisco State UniversityMore details
