Description

Many physics textbooks take a traditional approach to the demonstration of mathematical relationships and derivations, presenting them in linear order. However, many physical derivations follow a tree-shaped structure with interconnected steps running in parallel, where numerous individual equations are manipulated and combined to reach a final result. Thus, conventional presentation often leads to derivations being spread over several book pages and linked by formula numbering. This title takes a novel and intuitive approach to introductory quantum mechanics by utilising concept maps to address non-linear structures in key mathematical relationships. Concept maps are structures in a form similar to flowcharts where derivations, concepts, and relations are visualised on one page, supported by concise accompanying text on the opposite page. Perfect as a supporting and guiding tool for undergraduates, this book is designed to aid in the understanding and memorisation of key derivations and mathematical concepts in quantum mechanics.

Aimed at undergraduates, this innovative book presents key quantum mechanics derivations through visual maps to aid readers' understanding.

About the Author
Michael Wick is Professor of Physics at Coburg University, where he teaches quantum mechanics, atomic physics and mathematical methods for undergraduates, and previously worked as Senior Scientist at Carl Zeiss AG. He has successfully applied the concept maps technique in his courses at Coburg and in two German-language textbooks on quantum mechanics (2019) and classical mechanics (2021).

Reviews
'This book is a wonderful supplement to standard textbooks on quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level. The presentation is very innovative and almost resembles a blackboard discussion. I believe the book will be particularly useful for students with a preference for visual learning.' Wolfgang Altmannshofer, University of California, Santa Cruz
'As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Quantum Mechanics with Concept Maps provides an excellent visual tool that allows students to see how parallel approaches and manifestations of quantum mechanics come together. One example is the presentation of angular momentum in position space versus state space. Another is the comparison of state vectors versus wave functions. I am keen to use this approach in my own classes.' Jim Napolitano, Temple University

Fast and efficient way to choose and receive books

This is my second experience using Booksplease. Both orders dealt with very quickly and despatched. Now waiting for my next read to drop through the letterbox.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
