Kong TI - Quantum mechanics: A fundamental approach ( E-Book ) SN - 9780203702413 U1 - 530.12 W36 PY - 2019/// CY - New York PB - Jenny Stanford Publishing KW - Structure of physical theories KW - Probability theory for discrete variables KW - Quantum mechanical systems N1 - The mathematical formalism of quantum theory in terms of vectors and operators in infinite-dimensional complex vector spaces is very abstract. The definitions of many mathematical quantities used do not seem to have an intuitive meaning, which makes it difficult to appreciate the mathematical formalism and understand quantum mechanics. This book provides intuition and motivation to the mathematics of quantum theory, introducing the mathematics in its simplest and familiar form, for instance, with three-dimensional vectors and operators, which can be readily understood. Feeling confident about and comfortable with the mathematics used helps readers appreciate and understand the concepts and formalism of quantum mechanics UR - https://doi.org/10.1201/b22504 ER -
