Quantum Theory For The Rest Of Us

by Anand Gopal

Here is a clear, straight forward introduction to the mysterious science of Quantum Mechanics. Quantum Theory for the Rest of Us assumes only a basic mathematics and physics background and is the perfect companion for students taking physical chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, biophysics, mathematics, or philosophy. Quantum Theory for the Rest of Us for goes complex explanations and advanced mathematical proofs for a simple, straight forward style that is sure to hasten a deeper understanding of this important subject. Rather than aiming at complete mastery, the text centers around important themes and concepts, and employs the minimum of mathematics necessary to justify each development. The text is designed as a supplement to more advanced texts, although it is also perfectly well-suited for self study. Ultimately, Quantum Theory for the Rest of Us bridges the gap between the plentiful advanced, highly mathematical treatments and the numerous simplified, popular-science treatments of the subject, and it is in this vein that the text is truly "for the rest of us".
