About the author

Daniel A. Fleisch is Emeritus Professor of Physics at Wittenberg University, where he specializes in electromagnetics and space physics. He is the author of four other books published by Cambridge University Press: A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations (2008); A Student's Guide to Vectors and Tensors (2011); A Student's Guide to the Mathematics of Astronomy (2013) and A Student's Guide to Waves (2015).

Summary

Retaining the successful approach used in Fleisch's other Student's Guides, this accessible resource provides plain language explanations of the key concepts and techniques underlying the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. A companion website hosts additional resources including videos and quizzes to further develop students understanding.
