The lectures then arrive at a formal presentation of quantum theory together with a summary of its postulates. There is a discussion of quantum measurements.

The applications are extended to include quantum electrodynamics and quantum statistics. Several applications are explored, including scattering and transition rates. The Schrödinger equation is motivated and presented. As an aid to teaching and learning, the solutions to these problems have now been published in additional texts.The present text completes the first-year introduction to physics with a set of lectures on Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, the very successful theory of the microscopic world. Both texts contain an extensive set of accessible problems that enhances and extends the coverage. These lectures, aimed at the very best students, assume a good concurrent course in calculus they are otherwise self-contained. The latter is based on a course taught at Stanford several years ago with over 400 students enrolled. The author has published two texts on classical physics, Introduction to Classical Mechanics and Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism, both meant for initial one-quarter physics courses. The current book provides the solutions to those problems.The goal of these three texts is to provide students and teachers alike with a good, understandable, introduction to the fundamentals of classical and quantum physics. An extensive set of accessible problems again enhances and extends the coverage. A concluding chapter provides a brief introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics.

As an aid to teaching and learning, the solutions to these problems have now been published in additional texts.A third published text completes the first-year introduction to physics with a set of lectures on Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, the very successful theory of the microscopic world.
