Intended for use as a textbook for an introductory course in quantum mechanics at the graduate level, this book is also meant to be retained by the student for later use as a reference. It is written by two experienced Springer authors in an engaging style.
The intent of the authors in writing this book is to avoid a modern trend in textbooks that is to condense and compress the texts into smaller sizes. The authors believe that a textbook should be more than a one or two semester acquaintance. This is especially true for a course such as quantum mechanics which is likely taken by physics majors who will use the subject for the rest of their careers. Perhaps in years to come, this student, now a working physicist, is interested in a subject skipped in the course. He or she knows where to find the material in a book that is quite familiar to him or her; a book they retained from their course and kept in a personal library. The goal in writing this book is to have that kind of staying power and be a long-term companion for physicists. The authors will also provide an instructor's solution manual, which will be available to adopting professors.

From the reviews: "This book is meant to be used for a first course in quantum mechanics and assumes that the student has taken a modern physics course and has had mathematics through differential equations. ... The book reviews how to sketch wave functions for a variety of 1-D potentials and addresses the standard calculations for special cases. ... Overall, this is an excellent book ... . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates." (E. Kincanon, Choice, Vol. 46 (8), April, 2009) "This textbook provides an introduction to quantum mechanics at an elementary level. ... The presentation of the topics is very good and pedagogical. ... Finally, many exercises and their solutions ... are given. All in all, this book provides an excellent introduction to the field of quantum physics. It will be very useful to beginning students in quantum mechanics, and also to lecturers on this topic. It is highly recommended as a basis for a course, or even for self-study."
