Schaum's Outline of Quantum Mechanics.......2007-01-21

Basic information, and lots of problems (many worked out, others with answers). Makes for good practice and review.

Very useful, needs a rewrite ..........2006-11-19

This book is useful. There is a variety of problems from fairly easy to difficult, but in general, the problems are similar (and often the same) as problems in graduate texts such as Merzbacher, Cohen, etc.. My complaint with this book is not necessarily the typos (although they should be fixed given the popularity of this book). My complaint is that that the authors sometimes skip steps in the solutions that are so critical, that is is nearly impossible to understand them. A useful solution can leave out mathematical drudgery, and calculations, but it shouldn't leave out critical steps that have been covered earlier in the book, because a solutions manual like this is not usually used as a textbook, it is used as a reference.

For instance I may want to try a practice problem on the Variational Method, and the problem leaves out steps that may have been covered in earlier chapters. So I spend hours playing with the problem until I find the solution. This is not useful, and not what a problems and solutions book should do. I understand that not every step can be included, but I would rather see more complete solutions, which might sacrifice the unsolved problems and the blank pages at the end of the book.

This book seems to have been typewritten from the authors' handwritten notes, because many of the typos are consistent with penmanship. But one of the authors should go over all of the solutions, flesh out the missing steps, and correct the errors. Without doing this, the physics student can't rely on this book as a trusted source, since they never know if the error they encounter is a typo or their own mistake.

Regardless, this is a useful book, and I have learned a lot from it.

Best value for money.......2006-08-25

This book is a complete introductory course that presents the basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics.

As a newcomer to this subject, I was puzzled by the separate definitions of the similar notions of inner product (denoted < , >), scalar product (denoted ( , )), scalar product (denoted < | >) and Dirac bracket (also denoted < | >). It would be most helpful if, in a future edition, the authors could define these four notions in one place, along with an explanation of the differences (if any) between them.

Apart from this minor annoyance, for which I deducted one star, this book succesfully tackles a most important and difficult subject. The writing and presentation are up to the usually high standards of Schaum's Outline series. There are plenty of exercises, both solved and unsolved. And it's excellent value for money. For the price, there's no serious competition.

A better mathematical treatment, based on linear vector spaces, may be found in "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by Shankar.

Excelente libro de texto sobre Física Cuántica........2006-01-30

La mayoría de los textos de Física Cuántica que he leído, son inabordables en algunos momentos por la complejidad de la misma notación, falta de ejemplos directos de aplicación, y deficientes estructuraciones del contenido. El resultado es que finalmente te ves rodeado de una gran cantidad de libros de texto, para cubrir diferentes capítulos.

En cambio este libro, sobresale con holgura, cubriendo todas esas carencias.

* La estructura del libro es correcta.
* El número de ejemplos es muy amplio (como si no en un Schaum's).
* La notación es la que normalmente se utiliza en este campo.

¡ Qué más se puede pedir, en un libro de texto !.

Not great.......2006-01-28

I bought this book as I was taking undergraduate-level Quantum Mechanics. While it has a better review and analysis of bra and ket notation than, say, the Griffiths text, and has excellent applications (square well, energy levels, Landau Levels, etc.), it was practically useless until I finished the course. Additionally, as others have pointed out, the outline is riddled with errors. It is not as well-written as Murray Spiegel's Vector Analysis or Fourier Series books. If you're a graduate student or want a refresher course, I'd consider it. Otherwise, this is not the ideal choice.

Nice condensed book.......2007-09-07

This is a great book to support all the information you can get in a single continuum mechanics class. It could be nice if it has a more detailed treatment of the mohr's circle because of his power in 2D and an approach to the analysis of shells and plates.
Best regards and enjoy it!

a good source for a "quick review".......2003-12-03

Like most other Schaum's series, the theory sections are condensed, which makes the part more like a compendium of continuum mechanics. The theoretical sections are thus good for a quick review of the material but not a good resource for "learning" the material. The biggest advantage of the book is that it provides an inexpensive summary of continuum mechanics.

The downside of the book is that the solved problems are not similar to the type of problems one confronts in a typical continuum course. In most cases several problems (statement together with the solution) are presented in a single page, which shows that each problem has been solved in 1-5 lines. I personally don't like most of the problems presented here; however, the problems could be useful for warming up.

A better book is "Introduction to the Mechanics of a Continuous Medium" by Malvern, which is the best I've seen in explaining the intricacies of the theory. Another good complement is Holzapfel's "Nonlinear Solid Mechanics: A Continuum Approach for Engineering", which contains both the theory AND some solved sample problems.

better than most professors, but..........2003-04-13

Better than most professors, but concepts are still difficult to grasp. Have you ever had one of those tennis ball machines go crazy at you? That is how continuum mechanics is, you constantly have things hurled in your direction and you don't know how to stop them. The concepts are very difficult to understand since I'm sure many professors have a hard time understanding the course material itself. The Schaum's outline helps very much in the sense that it slows down the hurling of material and it explains where many equations are derived from. This book stands out above the rest of continuum mechanics books in the sense that it offers solved problems, which is rare for such a theoretical class.

Not really a very good book.......2003-03-26

Not really a very good book on continuum mechanics. However, it
does summarise some very important points and equations useful
for quick reference. The exercise is not so great.

Very helpful, but also very theoretical.......2000-03-28

The problems in this book where very helpful to me in my applied continuum mechanics course, but they tended more towards the theoretical side. A good purchase for students and researchers dealing with solid mechanics and mechanics of materials.

Customer Reviews:

Great reading, lousy story.......2007-03-19

Like all of the Fonolibro audio books that I've listened to, 'La Dama de Las Camelias' has top notch narration and voice acting, and great production values. Unfortunately, unlike some of their other CD's, the story this is based on is excruciatingly boring. If you want to practice your Spanish and listen to a decent story in the process, I'd recommend 'Harry Potter Y La Piedra Filosofal' or Fonolibro's 'Viaje Al Centro de la Tierra,' and 'El Conde de Monte Cristo.'

Que amor! Que produccion! Es fantastico!.......2005-10-16

Un amor imposible el cual Armando y Margarita tenian, el cual es llevado magistralmente al audio por Fonolibro. Es maravilloso para escuchar mientras se esta en el carro o en el gimnasio, pero les aseguro que lloraran al final de la emocion. Una muy linda produccion y actuacion. Muy recomendado!!

Excelente historia de amor con tintes pasionales.......2001-07-31

Esta historia nos demuestra claramente la pasíón que un hombre puede llegar a sentir por una mujer, y lo que una mujer puede sacrificar por el amor de un hombre, también es un fiel reflejo de algunas de nuestras conductas; muestra en forma detallada como una sociedad y algunos preceptos morales pueden ser la causa de dejar a un lado a la persona que realmente se ama. En pocas palabras puedo opinar que esta novela es para personas que gustan del amor sin barreras, rayando en los límites de la pasión. Puedo comparar ésta novela con otra poco conocida y muy recomendable llamada 'Werther' de Goethe -primer novela escrita por este celebre autor alemán-, pues tambien es una historia de entrega y de amor, terminando en una tragedia irremediable. Ambas un reflejo de las vivencias de los autores así como de los sentimientos que los llevaron a escribirlas.
