"Although this is an introductory text, some quite sophisticated concepts are discussed.In summary, this text gives undergraduate mathematics majors an excellent opportunity to see how their linear and abstract algebra and differential equations courses can be applied to modern physics."--Mathematical Reviews
Although it takes a traditional approach, the book exploits ideas of linear algebra and points out some of the mathematical subtleties of the theory. It assumes a knowledge of basic algebra and elementary group theory, with little or no familiarity with more advanced topics. This book provides an introduction to quantum theory, primarily for mathematics students. Later chapters discuss relativistic wave equations and elementary particle symmetries from a group-theoretical standpoint.. It also covers such topics as Bell's inequalities and coherent and squeezed states, and introduces group representation theory, algebraic quantum theory, and quantum statistical mechanics
Great book, but not an introduction. This book is very readable if you have some knoledge about quantum mechanics. It shows how to calculate things using the theory but does not explain the physical part in much detail.It makes a good companion to the Feynman book where you have the physics greatly explained but little mathematical detail.If you are new tho the subject look somewhere else first. If you want to know how to get results from the theory this is the book.
