The book offers a comprehensive exploration of quantum mechanics, focusing on fundamental principles and their applications. It covers key topics such as wave-particle duality, the uncertainty principle, and quantum states, making complex concepts accessible through clear explanations and mathematical formulations. Ideal for students and enthusiasts, the text includes practical examples and exercises to reinforce understanding. The author emphasizes the historical context of quantum theory, showcasing its development and significance in modern physics.

This book reminds students in junior, senior and graduate level courses in physics, chemistry and engineering of the math they may have forgotten (or learned imperfectly) that is needed to succeed in science courses. The focus is on math actually used in physics, chemistry, and engineering, and the approach to mathematics begins with 12 examples of increasing complexity, designed to hone the student's ability to think in mathematical terms and to apply quantitative methods to scientific problems. Detailed illustrations and links to reference material online help further comprehension. The second edition features new problems and illustrations and features expanded chapters on matrix algebra and differential equations.
