Reviews
'McIntyre's spins-first approach to quantum mechanics has been popular with students and faculty for many years at my institution. The text emphasizes the nature of science by grounding the starting topics in experiment. It focuses on meaning and physical sensemaking, not just formalism and symbol manipulation. The educational research base originating from the Oregon State Paradigms program shines through the text - the author is clearly sensitive to common student struggles early on in learning quantum mechanics. The text forefronts the postulates of quantum mechanics, using Dirac notation and relevant (but still reasonably elementary, at first) principles of linear algebra right away. Opportunities for sensemaking are present from the start (e.g., when considering chained Stern-Gerlach experiments, where considerable physical intuition and consistency of outcomes are emphasized). The homework problems are well thought out, and the text builds a solid and modern framework for students progressing to more advanced topics.'

Synopsis
This popular undergraduate quantum mechanics textbook is now available in a more affordable printing from Cambridge University Press. Unlike many other books on quantum mechanics, this text begins by examining experimental quantum phenomena such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment and spin measurements, using them as the basis for developing the theoretical principles of quantum mechanics. Dirac notation is developed from the outset, offering an intuitive and powerful mathematical toolset for calculation, and familiarizing students with this important notational system. This non-traditional approach is designed to deepen students' conceptual understanding of the subject, and has been extensively class tested. Suitable for undergraduate physics students, worked examples are included throughout and end of chapter problems act to reinforce and extend important concepts. Additional activities for students are provided online, including interactive simulations of Stern-Gerlach experiments, and a fully worked solutions manual is available for instructors., This popular undergraduate quantum mechanics textbook is now available in a more affordable printing from Cambridge University Press. Suitable for undergraduate physics students, worked examples are included throughout and end of chapter problems act to reinforce and extend key concepts.

- k***k (7)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAt first, when bought, seller told me that the item is not available in the warehouse. Then asked if it is fine for me to wait for some time for them to ask their suppliers for this item. Then, in 1.5 months item was delivered. Overall I am really happy that the seler found a way to deliver the item to me in the end. Cheers!WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wai by Wong Kar Wai (#365043827155)
