Quantum Mechanics With Concept Maps

This book takes a novel approach to introductory quantum mechanics by utilising concept maps to address non-linear structures in key mathematical relationships. Perfect as a supporting tool for undergraduates, this book is designed to aid in the understanding and memorisation of key derivations and mathematical concepts.

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).
