Quantum Mechanics with Concept Maps

Many physics textbooks take a traditional approach to the demonstration of mathematical relationships and derivations presenting them in linear order. However many physical derivations follow a tree-shaped structure with interconnected steps running in parallel where numerous individual equations are manipulated and combined to reach a final result. Thus conventional presentation often leads to derivations being spread over several book pages and linked by formula numbering. This title takes a novel and intuitive approach to introductory quantum mechanics by utilising concept maps to address non-linear structures in key mathematical relationships. Concept maps are structures in a form similar to flowcharts where derivations concepts and relations are visualised on one page supported by concise accompanying text on the opposite page. Perfect as a supporting and guiding tool for undergraduates this book is designed to aid in the understanding and memorisation of key derivations and mathematical concepts in quantum mechanics.
