An introductory path to quantum theory : using mathematics to understand the ideas of physics

An introductory path to quantum theory : using mathematics to understand the ideas of physics / Stephen Bruce Sontz.

Since the 17th century, physical theories have been expressed in the language of mathematical equations. This introduction to quantum theory uses that language to enable the reader to comprehend the notoriously non-intuitive ideas of quantum physics. The mathematical knowledge needed for using this...
