Zusatztext If you teach quantum mechanics, you should read this book. If you are studying quantum mechanics, you should read this book. If you are vaguely interested in quantum mechanics, you should read this book. Everyone should read this book. Why? Because in this book you will find the fundamentals and the structure of quantum mechanics explained directly and clearly, with you in mind, without the naive tone of those common popularizations centered on the weirdness of the quantum [...] I wish I had had this little book (200 pages!) when I started studying quantum mechanics. [...] I find this book suitable as an uncluttered textbook for an Introduction to quantum mechanics undergraduate course in physics and engineering.
