Download or read book An Introductory Path to Quantum Theory written by Stephen Bruce Sontz and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 17th century, physical theories have been expressed in the language of mathematical equations. This introduction to quantum theory uses that language to enable the reader to comprehend the notoriously non-intuitive ideas of quantum physics. The mathematical knowledge needed for using this book comes from standard undergraduate mathematics courses and is described in detail in the section Prerequisites. This text is especially aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, computer science, engineering and chemistry among other disciplines, provided they have the math background even though lacking preparation in physics. In fact, no previous formal study of physics is assumed.
