Quantum Mechanics: A Complete Introduction: Teach Yourself by Alexandre Zagoskin | (PDF) Free Download

Description

Written by Dr Alexandre Zagoskin, who is a Reader at Loughborough University, Quantum Mechanics: A Complete Introduction is designed to give you everything you need to succeed, all in one place. It covers the key areas that students are expected to be confident in, outlining the basics in clear jargon-free English, and then providing added-value features like summaries of key ideas, and even lists of questions you might be asked in your exam. The book uses a structure that is designed to make quantum physics as accessible as possible – by starting with its similarities to Newtonian physics, rather than the rather startling differences.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book should *not* suggest that you dont need to understand math, author goes in to geometry and cartesian in the first chapter.Which is all well and good.However, he makes the introduction much more complicated than necessary, labeling the x/y coordinates by their intended operation specifically for physics.For the uninitiated they will get lost very quickly and be turned off because they expecting a simple straight forward introduction to the cartesian system. But that is *not* what the author provides in the first chapter. Like I said unnecessarily complicated so dont expect that introduction thats promised.3 stars because the book does not cater to the intended audience as promised.

⭐This book is totally amazing. It is written smoothly to maximize your contact exposure with all domains of quantum mechanics, and show the most of its magic in the most exciting ways.

⭐This book is the best place to start if you want to take an epic journey into the world of Quantum Mechanics. The author writes clearly and packs a lot of punch into every sentence.

⭐Good survey of the field. But still requires some working knowledge of algebra to follow.

⭐This is an interesting book but the intended readership is not clear. No layman can use it — the math employed is too sophisticated. Nor is it really a QM text. It would probably make good supplementary reading for math and physics undergrads who are taking a QM course. It is written with insight and there are many ideas explained here — e.g., on the Poisson bracket and variational principles — that I haven’t seen explained so clearly and succinctly elsewhere. But unfortunately it can’t serve as a text (nor is it intended to, according to the author). Incidentally, it has 404 pages — not 256.

⭐This book has done more to explain to me concepts associated with QM than any other source. It packs a lot into a few hundred pages, so I found that re-reading was necessary – but that’s true whenever you study any complex subject. The author states quite clearly that his aim is to teach you about QM, not the full theory itself. But I think he does more than that. I’ve been able to pick up other texts I’ve bought and make sense of them for the first time. This is a very good book.

⭐Very clear but goes very fast. All the math is explained from a high school level, but it assumes that the reader would not get stuck on concepts that might not be understood at first. It has many equations, but it imparts at least as much knowledge as books marketed to a popular audience.

⭐I’ve been looking for a book at this level for some time. For once, this is a book where the ‘introduction’ in the title is justified. A really nice style of dialogue, very funny in some places, and the perfect amount of Harry Potter references :)There are a couple of mistakes actually, although these might only be in the Kindle version. I’ve noted them and will send to the author.I already have a PhD in QM, but I learnt quite a lot from this book. Especially the quantum information and computation chapter.I would say that you need a first year of university maths before reading to get the full experience, however I suspect that even without this, you’d get a lot from this book.

⭐I bought this book to try and get my head around QM and was influenced by the title including the word “Introduction”. I was a bit disappointed to realise that a good understanding of math is essential to get to grips with the weird world of QM. It was beyond my capability to fully understand the contents even after reading it twice. Overall it is an interesting book but I am not convinced it is for someone like me that wanted QM explaining a bit more simpler without all the math. Maybe it is not possible to explain QM without math.

⭐One star for the author’s excellent breadth and depth of knowledge, and the other for his engaging style. However, the reader really does need a good understanding of linear algebra, calculus, and statistics & probability mathematics … plus much patience, to benefit materially from this. As it’s a “Teach Yourself” title, just the two stars – good stuff but wrong publisher.

⭐Make no mistake, one needs University (well above A Level) Mathematics to follow this book. It is not an introductory guide that claims to be about what Quantum Mechanics is – it is a mathematically driven textbook on every page.

⭐Bought this so my partner can catch up on what I know about quantum mechanics. Quite a technical read
