Reviews
“The book has originated from the many lectures given by the author. It contains an extensive introduction to quantum mechanics, including the necessary mathematical formalism and multiple excursions, remarks, and exercises. … It appears very suitable for lecturers teaching a two-semester course on quantum mechanics or also for individual study.” (Gernot Schaller, zbMATH 1311.81005, 2015)
“Scheck’s book may be best suited for students who are attracted to quantum field theory and nuclear or particle physics. In particular, the competent and efficient balance between mathematical calculations and their physical content and interpretation, between formulas and words, will certainly render Scheck’s text very useful and appealing to many readers. … this English edition of the book will become a favorite text for quantum mechanics students like the corresponding German volumes already have been for some years.” (H. Hogreve, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2014)
