Phillips, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manchester. Motivates by considering weird behaviour of quantum particles. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness. I would recommend for anyone starting out Quantum Mechanics at University, it really helped me through my exams although it does need to be paired with your lecture notes for additional understanding.

(2003) Paperback, “This review has long felt that the current selection of books lack rigor and do not address thoroughly enough how quantum is fundamentally done; this one does a good job...recommended.” (Choice, Vol. This text first teaches students how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. matrix mechanics, angular momentum, the uncertainty principle and transformation theory. Assuming little in the way of prior knowledge, quantum concepts are carefully and precisely presented, and explored through numerous applications and problems.

All this book requires is a little knowledge of calculus and a little bit of knowledge from classical physics and you're good to go. © 1996-2020, Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates. The descriptor \quantum" arises because in contrast with classical mechanics, certain quantities take on only discrete values. It explains the processes clearly with the appropriate amount of maths for such a textbook. Bought this for one of my exams in university.
