Book Reviews of Quantum Mechanics Demystified
Book Review: Where's the Cat?!
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is completely useless. It describes itself as basic enough for beginners yet complex enough for advanced students. I would consider myself somewhere in between this, but didn't find either of these claims to be valid.
Equations are introduced with no context what-so-ever. I expected something that would be a gentle enough (re-)introduction to the subject. No, it's just straight in there with no explanation of anything. On the cover there is a nice cartoon of Schrodinger and his cat - which suggests the tone of book. Unfortunately, this is misleading (I know: books, covers, judging etc) - the cat never appears. Schrodingers equation appears - but I had to go elsewhere to find out its origins.
I can't suggest an alternative - but stay away from this one.
