Description: Quantum Mechanics: The Theoretical Minimum by Leonard Susskind, Art Friedman From the bestselling author of The Theoretical Minimum, a DIY introduction to the math and science of quantum mechanics. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description From the bestselling author of The Theoretical Minimum , a DIY introduction to the math and science of quantum mechanics. First he taught you classical mechanics. Now, physicist Leonard Susskind has teamed up with data engineer Art Friedman to present the theory and associated mathematics of the strange world of quantum mechanics. In this follow-up to the New York Times best-selling The Theoretical Minimum , Susskind and Friedman provide a lively introduction to this famously difficult field, which attempts to understand the behavior of sub-atomic objects through mathematical abstractions. Unlike other popularizations that shy away from quantum mechanics weirdness, Quantum Mechanics embraces the utter strangeness of quantum logic. The authors offer crystal-clear explanations of the principles of quantum states, uncertainty and time dependence, entanglement, and particle and wave states, among other topics, and each chapter includes exercises to ensure mastery of each area. Like The Theoretical Minimum , this volume runs parallel to Susskinds eponymous Stanford University-hosted continuing education course. An approachable yet rigorous introduction to a famously difficult topic, Quantum Mechanics provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace. Author Biography Leonard Susskind has been the Felix Bloch Professor in theoretical physics at Stanford University since 1978. The author of The Cosmic Landscape, he is a member of the National Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and recipient of numerous prizes including the science writing prize of the American Institute of Physics for his Scientific American article on black holes. Review Quote "Susskind and Friedmans persuasive overview--and their insistence on explaining...exactly what it is that is strange about quantum mechanics--may be just what is needed."-- Nature Details ISBN0465062903 Author Art Friedman Short Title QUANTUM MECHANICS Pages 384 Language English ISBN-10 0465062903 ISBN-13 9780465062904 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 530.12 Residence US Illustrations Yes Publisher Basic Books Series The Theoretical Minimum Subtitle The Theoretical Minimum Audience General/Trade Year 2015 Publication Date 2015-05-12 UK Release Date 2015-05-12 Imprint Basic Books Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2015-05-12 NZ Release Date 2015-05-12 US Release Date 2015-05-12 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
