Book Synopsis
Quantum mechanics is arguably the most successful physical theory. It provides the structure underlying all of our electronic technology, and much of our mastery over materials. Suitable for undergraduates with minimal mathematical preparation, this title presents a logical path to understanding what quantum mechanics is about.

Table of Contents
The failure of classical theory Consequences of a mistrust of theory Properties of electrons, photons; The De Broglie relations An analysis of electron diffraction Heisenberg's principle of indeterminancy Interpretations of the Heisenberg principle Dynamical properties of microsystems Determinism and state; Statistical determinism Probability amplitudes; The superposition principle Summary and comment Index.
