Customer Reviews

Great for EE or MSE students

This book is easy to read. It is written by a professor in the EE Department at the University of Michigan. There are some technical applications of Quantum Mechanics. I strongly recommend to engineering students who want to really understand solid state physics and quantum optics. This book is a good introduction.

Singh's Quantum Mechanics

This volume has indeed taken a very unique approach to quantum mechanics, and I liked it very much. However, a few things may need to be improved: 1) I have noted that a significant portion of this volume is clearly taken directly from the excellent Q.M. book of Schiff. It would be nice if the author could give a little bit more of his own explanations and insights to make the volume even more original and useful. 2) I felt...
