Pretty Good

I bought this book to supplement my QM grad course. It did a so-so job. The best chapter is where he introduces the 3-D picture. He introduces angular momentum very well. In fact his presentation is the most clear I've seen. Only have reading Morrison did the 3-D shro. equ. and how the ang. mom. operator comes into the picture click. Morrison does a good job with teaching the reader to deal in terms of eigenvalue equations (a thing he harped on a lot in his first book). There are downsides though. The biggest is that he does not cover WKB approximation. And his dealing with Perturbation Theory in general is not that good and the notation not helpful. Overall, it might be nice to buy if you need some help in QM 2. Another advantage is that it's not too expensive.
