Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum
This is a PDF. Digital Download, No physical item will be shipped.
After teaching you classical mechanics, physicist Leonard Susskind teams up with data engineer Art Friedman to explore the theory and mathematics of the peculiar world of quantum mechanics.
In this follow-up to the New York Times best-selling The Theoretical Minimum, Susskind and Friedman deliver an engaging introduction to quantum mechanics, a notoriously challenging field that seeks to understand the behavior of sub-atomic particles through mathematical abstractions. Unlike other popular science books that avoid the oddities of quantum mechanics, Quantum Mechanics fully embraces its peculiar logic. The authors provide clear explanations of key concepts such as quantum states, uncertainty, time dependence, entanglement, and particle and wave states. Each chapter includes exercises to help readers master the material. Like its predecessor, this book parallels Susskind's Stanford University continuing education course.
Quantum Mechanics offers an accessible yet thorough introduction to this complex topic, providing a toolkit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.
