An initial review of classical mechanics and electromagnetism provides the reader with the context for quantum mechanics. Starting with atomic level experimental results, the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics is derived, with the wave function related to the statistical theory of random variables. Applying the requirement of Galilean invariance yields the Schr�odinger equation, and the Copenhagen interpretation of the wave function is discussed. After numerous basic applications of wave mechanics, including the hydrogen atom and the harmonic oscillator, the text then presents Dirac notation and Hilbert space theory. New chapters discuss perturbation theory, path integrals, scattering theory, and quantum entanglement.  aGeneral/trade and professional and scholarly.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aMark Swanson, PhD, is Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Connecticut and lives in Monroe, Connecticut.
