Quantum Mechanics

Rating:
Summary: an outstanding reference
Review: Schwabl's Quantum Mechanics is a superb supplement to any course on quantum mechanics. After struggling through Griffith's obfuscated discussion of addition of angular momenta, Schwabl's exposition was my savior. I would not, however, try to learn QM solely from Schwabl (i.e. self-study) because he frequently skips derivations and says things like "it is immediately apparant that...," which can be frustrating. However, as a text for a course or as a supplementary resource, Schwabl is extrememly valuable.

Summary: I have been using this book in class, and I am not impressed
Review: While this book certainly covers a lot of ground, it is painfully lacking in derivations or examples. I beleive it would be a reasonable book to use (as a reference) for someone who has already mastered quantum mechanics, but it is almost impossible to learn out of. Also, if you want a very terse, yet comprehensive reference, why bother with something other than Landau?
