DESCRIPTION:
"Quite good for the right audience" according to B. Style. Maybe it shouldn't be a "for dummies" book -- but if you've read a few of the laymen's books on QM and are ready for something meatier, but aren't quite ready for a formal text, this is a great place to start. You'll need a basic appreciation of matrix-style math, partial derivatives, and integral calculus (say mid-level engineering math). An appreciation for basic physics is also require. Not for Dummies If this book is for dummies ,I shudder to think what that makes me,several grades below imbecle probably. I have read other books in the Dummies series,calculus, geometry,etc,and generally understood what the author was saying,but I only made it to pg 27 before hitting a brick wall.I thought my understanding of maths would be sufficient ,but I was sadly mistaken.I was looking for a much s. Helpful but Sloppy Luis E. Londono The book has very good Quantum theory and examples but in some of the derivations important steps are omitted and this can be frustrating. One has to figure out the missing steps oneself or has to look in other books. There are cases where results are shown without derivation. Besides the book has numerous errors in the formulas. At this time I am halfway through the book and have been ma
