Essential Quantum Physics

Rating:
Summary: an easy introduction
Review: As the editorial says it is a first course introduction to Quantum Physics book. It is not a narrative book about Quantum Physics, it has Mathematical formulas and problems as well as some practical applications yet you do not need to know more than a good calculus to understand what is goung on. It starts with Schrodinger's equation and shows few applications and solutions and than Quantum Physical practical applications such as lasers etc. Although it is relatively easy to follow the book, a lot of logical steps and physical foundations of Quantum Physics are introduces as set of postulates without any hint of reasons for it. Unless you know those things from other sources it is not easy to catch those that authors have between the lines. I recommend it as an easy work book but not necessairly the one that takes you from Classical Physics and leads into Quantum Physics. The book fails to show the short comings of the Classical Physics and efforts of Quantum Physics to respond to problems. Suddenly we have the Schrodinger's equations and solves all your problems just like that.
