Description
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
