The Quantum Menagerie: A Tutorial Introduction to the Mathematics of Quantum Mechanics

by James Stone

Understanding quantum mechanics matters because it is the engine that powers the universe. This engine is fuelled by a few simple principles, but the consequences of those principles are both profound and strange. In this richly illustrated book, quantum mechanics is explained using a finely balanced combination of words, diagrams and mathematics. The result is a tour of the most intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics, including Einstein's `spooky action at a distance', Bell's inequality, Schrödinger's cat, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, and de Broglie's matter waves. Supported by a comprehensive Glossary, Further Readings, and tutorial appendices, this is an ideal introduction to the mathematics of quantum mechanics.

Another great book from James V Stone

I really enjoyed reading this book and I learn a few important things that I didn’t previously understood reading other introductory (and not) books on quantum mechanics. Some sections are wonderfully written and explained. A few section could you a little bit better explanation. Overall still highly recommended.
