How do atoms and electrons behave? Are they just like marbles, basketballs, suns, and planets, but smaller?

 

They are not. Atoms and electrons behave in a fashion quite unlike the familiar marbles, basketballs, suns, and planets. This sophomore-level textbook delves into the counterintuitive, intricate, but ultimately fascinating world of quantum mechanics. Building both physical insight and mathematical technique, it opens up a new world to the discerning reader.

 

After discussing experimental demonstrations showing that atoms behave differently from marbles, the book builds up the phenomena of the quantum world - quantization, interference, and entanglement - in the simplest possible system, the qubit. Once the phenomena are introduced, it builds mathematical machinery for describing them. It goes on to generalize those concepts and that machinery to more intricate systems. Special attention is paid to identical particles, the source of considerable student confusion. In the last chapter, students get a taste of what is not treated in the book and are invited to continue exploring quantum mechanics. Problems in the book test both conceptual and technical knowledge, and invite students to develop their own questions.

I Loved this book!!
Format: Hardcover
This was an excellent book. I used it for a Career Counseling course in Graduate School. I will use this book throughout the rest of my schooling. I will be able to use it as a study guide for my CPCE and NCE exam, as well as use it as a reference in my career as a school counselor. They have many useful appendices in the back of the book.

Awesome book to learn more about career counseling
Format: eTextbook
Going in I was scared because I read so many awful reviews for this book but I actually really enjoyed it. It is kinda dry so text to speech was my buddy. It made reading it so much easier

Got here so quickly! I had no problems whatsoever with the book, the book cover was just a little wrinkled, but I'm sure that's just from traveling. The book on the inside, the pages are clean and crisp. I will happily recommend them to other buyers! Thank you!!
