About the book >.>.> Quantum mechanics which by its very nature is highly mathematical (and therefore extremely abstract) is one of the most difficult areas of physics to master. In these pages we hope to help pierce the veil of obscurity by demon- strating with explicit examples how to do quantum mechanics. This book is divided into three main parts. After a brief historical review we cover the basics of quantum theory from the perspective of wave mechanics. This includes a discussion of the wavefunc- tion the probability interpretation operators and the Schr?dinger equation. We then consider simple one-dimensional scattering and bound state problems. In the second part of the book we cover the mathematical foundations needed to do quantum mechanics from a more modern perspective. We review the necessary elements of matrix mechanics and linear algebra such as finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors computing the trace of a matrix and finding out if a matrix is Hermitian or unitary.
