When a premature physicist or hobbyist picks up Schaum's they need to know how to read it or look elsewhere. Most Schaum's are concise and on the brink of being too compact to be intelligent like reading over someone else's lecture notes. I do adore a few favorite Schaums, but this one lacks the structure and approach of some of the better Schaum's outlines. Many people will probably find this more obfuscating or ambiguous with Q.M. than their text book. I bought this with another text called Quantum Mechanics Demystified, and the Deymystified text breaks Quantum Mechanics down into better and more intuitive chunks really well. Also, be aware of non-standard approaches, because you don't want to learn a method of attack that's never used in lectures. (Don't worry about the alternative perspective if you have spare time just realize it's not used and it will alienate those that are taught physics another way.)



Now, if you've already had Quantum Mechanics and you're looking for a re-read, ask yourself how much intuition you have left when dealing with it because a few skims through this Schaum's with the right intuition will set you up to go do some mildly intelligent review. But, if it's not an incredible or great schuam's outline, Schaum's already being a secondary resource, then why buy this book and rob yourself... o_0



General Note: Don't waste money on this book, look for one of the many other texts that do better. Publishers like Dover are cheaper to experiment with than a $20.000 Schaums. You get about 4 Dover books for $20.00!



In the end, I returned this book to Borders.
