Quantum Mechanics is an introduction to the subject of Quantum Mechanics for postgraduate students. It is a detailed and comprehensive study of the physical and mathematical facets of Quantum Mechanics. The topics covered include Historical Origins of Quantum theory, Matrix Mechanics, Wave Packets and the Uncertainty Principle, Angular Momentum and Spin, the Schrodinger Equation, Perturbation Theory, Identical Particles, Foundation of Wave Mechanics, Operators and Eigen Functions, and Spherically Symmetric Systems. The book is a well researched and methodical review of the subject and gives equal importance to all topics, especially the role of symmetry operations and the algebraic construction of Quantum theory.
