Quantum Mechanics in Simple Matrix Form

By Thomas F. Jordan

Book Overview

This simple text makes basic quantum mechanics accessible with a minimum of mathematics. The focus is on the matrices representing physical quanitities. States are described simply by mean values of physical quantities or by probabilities for possible values. This approach reveals the essential simplicity of quantum mechanics by focusing on basics and working only with key elements of mathematical structure. Introduces all mathematics involved with using algebra of matrices, complex numbers, probabilities, and mean values. Offers over l00 problems.
