Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
This book very first teaches learners how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discusion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. The bookoverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications. For physicists and engineers.

This book literally saved me in quantum mechanics. Between my professor's willingness to help introduce us students to many of the challenges faced by quantum theory yesterday and this book's ability to quickly and painlessly explain many of the concepts behind QM I actually enjoyed learning this subject.
The book not only has great explanations of numerous concepts essential to QM but always supplies one thorough example of a calculation relevant to each of these topics. Some of the problems in the book were a little difficult however. Particularly, I remember searching for hours through integral tables before I found the integral I needed to solve one of my assignment problems. That was a huge waste of time. But still, this book will set the necessary groundwork for whatever kind of understanding of QM you can manage.

This book will take you through the core topics on quantum mechanics. The text is well explained and easy to follow, the problems are doable. Be prepared for the math though. Before reading this book I suggest to do groundwork on engineering maths comprising functions of a complex variable, series solutions of differential equations, probability theory and linear algebra. There is one thing I can't get from books on quantum mechanics including this one: an elucidation on the development of the Schrodinger's equation.

This book is a fair book into the Quantum Theory. Just that, fair. Griffiths does a nice job in the very first chapter of laying the foundation of the rest of the book. But in later chapters, he tends to assume to much and fails to provide a deeper mathematical inforamtion and tends to assume that the reader knows where he is going.
Tip to the buyer of this product: If you want a full understanding buy another Quantum book and use them side by side. This way you can get the most out of the course/personal pleasure.

David Griffiths' Introduction to Elementary Particles is probably the best book on the topic and, absurd though it may seem, the same seems to be true for his Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. While I would recommend Jim Baggott's books on the topic as a better *Introduction* for someone who, like me, has a math education far in the past, Griffiths' book come afterward.
Above and beyond the clarity of presentation there is the engaging tone of Griffiths' writing. His books are for physics what Charles Petzold's books are for programming in Windows; I can read page after page and stay alert. This is more important than you might think especially for an autodidact who has to keep himself motivated,

How does Griffiths manage to cram such a comprehensive exploration of non-relativistic QM into such a small textbook? Nearly half of the material is explained only through doing the chapter problems. If you are a self-learner or looking for a reference, take a look at other texts such as Liboff before this one. If you are using this as part of an undergraduate class, get ready for some serious problem sets.
