Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-17 00:00:00 Carl Michaelis This book was my introduction to quantum physics back in the late 1970s and while many introductory books do not hold up well over the years as one learns more about the subject this one holds up well. I am glad to see it is still being used.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-22 00:00:00 Anthony Nip Focuses heavily on the Schrodinger Equation but don't let that make you think it's gonna be easy; the hydrogen atom is covered in great detail and that's where I first met the amazingly versatile method called Perturbation Theory, which can be found in classical mechanics, plasma physics, every formulation of quantum mechanics, General Relativity and even String Theory, besides a zillion others I've never come across, no doubt. There's considerable merit to focusing initially on the Schrodinger Equation; students are invariably familiar with wave equations and therefore can focus on the conceptual peculiarities of quantum mechanics without the distracting confusion of the more abstract and alien formalisms.
