It is updated several times to include some of the recent topics and applications of Quantum Mechanics. Many topics are well-written, and the physics is clearly explained. While some sections of the book could be written better, I think it is a great book overall either as a course textbook, as a reference or as a resource for practice problems.I think the level of this book is a little higher than that of Griffiths ( Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd Edition) ). The book starts with a review on classical mechanics and a survey of the history of quantum mechanics. Then the postulates of quantum mechanics, operators and Dirac notation are introduced. This is a more formal introduction of quantum mechanics. If you have just finished a course on Modern Physics, and you are moving to your first formal course on quantum mechanics, you will probably find that Griffiths is a better textbook because it starts with Schrodinger equation as a differential equation. Liboff presents a steeper learning curve because it starts with the formalities of quantum mechanics, which is not quite easily understood at the beginning. I recommend using Griffiths as a first textbook, and use Liboff in a second course on quantum mechanics. It is a matter of taste though, as I think some students like postulates and formalities all laid out clearly at the beginning. If you are using Griffiths as the textbook, you can use Liboff as a reference because certain topics are missing in Griffiths and some physics are explained pretty well in Liboff. In particular, I like Liboff's discussion on good/bad quantum numbers and the matrix representation of quantum mechanics. The corresponding discussion in Griffiths is really lacking.My main complaint regarding Liboff is that some sections seem to be out of context, in particular the last few sections in chapter 7, 8 and 11. For example, in chapter 11 about matrix mechanics, it seems like everything having a matrix is being thrown into this chapter. This makes the topics difficult to understand because they are not placed in the right context. I believe these sections were not originally there, but were added when the book was revised. It would be a lot better if some of these sections can have their own chapters, for example the WKB approximation can be expanded into a chapter on semi-classical approach, and there can be a focused chapter on the quantum mechanics of solids and semiconductors. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Needs Solutions Manual *by C***. on Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015* This is not a good introductory book. The book has tons of practice problems but doesn't explain how to do half of them and doesn't have a solutions manual. I have been told that this is a fantastic "review" book for people who just need a refresher on the fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four Stars *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2015* All the essential info is in here. I don't know what language it's in but it is there. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/4335720-introductory-quantum-mechanics-4th-edition](https://www.desertcart.in/products/4335720-introductory-quantum-mechanics-4th-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
