I had studied partial differential equations and understood them. I knew how to solve the wave equation. But what the wave equation represented and how it came to be was a mystery. I got the best books written on the subject that were recommended by phd’s in physics, but none explained what things meant. They all assumed you already knew. I posted the wave equation on the blackboard in my office determined to learn what it meant. Thanks to this book I understand it so well I can derive it in my head. I had also seen the term “symmetry” tossed around a lot without explanation until I read this book and now I understand what it is and why it is important. The reason a “ket” is the transposed complex cojugate of a “bra” is now crystal clear. These are just a few examples of what I personally got out of this book. Schwichtenberg does a great job of illuminating this subject and I have or will purchase the rest pf his books on physics. He comes off very modest, but he has a deep understanding of the subject matter and the ability to explain things in a way that makes sense. The book is more about understanding and presents the basic problems but is not meant to be an in depth compendium of problems. I like this because it allows me to read the entire book at a reasonable rate without getting bogged down in arcane details of finite mathematics that won’t be memorized and can be looked up when needed to solve a problem. I still need to solve a lot of problems to become really good at quantum mechanics, but things are no longer mysterious. I highly recommend this book if you want just the facts to form a basis of understanding. Review: Great book to accompany undergraduate quantum - This is actually very good. The translations can use a little work and there may be one or two small (insignificant to a first time learner) details that may be incorrect or just written in a strange way, but overall this gives a pretty straightforward and easy to follow introduction to the core concepts in undergraduate quantum mechanics. It also makes a good companion to an actual undergraduate course. There are no problems in this book. It does read like a discussion and I do recommend this to anyone struggling with the content or who wants to see quantum before jumping in. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,067,234 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #803 in Quantum Theory (Books) #2,937 in History & Philosophy of Science (Books) #7,389 in Science & Mathematics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (214) | | Dimensions | 7.44 x 0.6 x 9.69 inches | | Edition | Annotated | | ISBN-10 | 1790455383 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1790455386 | | Item Weight | 1.07 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 266 pages | | Publication date | December 1, 2018 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![No-Nonsense Quantum Mechanics: A Student-Friendly Introduction, Second Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FXvUFjqiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is exactly what the title says! *by D***S on October 16, 2020* I spent years trying to gain an understanding of quantum mechanics.
