{"product_id":"quantum-mechanics","title":"Quantum Mechanics The Theoretical Minimum","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom the bestselling author of The Theoretical Minimum, a DIY introduction to the math and science of quantum mechanics.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this follow-up to the New York Times best-selling \u003ci\u003eThe Theoretical Minimum\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, \u003ci\u003eQuantum Mechanics\u003c\/i\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eThe Theoretical Minimum\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume runs parallel to Susskind's eponymous Stanford University-hosted continuing education course.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn approachable yet rigorous introduction to a famously difficult topic, \u003ci\u003eQuantum Mechanics\u003c\/i\u003e provides a tool kit for amateur scientists to learn physics at their own pace.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hachette Book Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694417314066,"sku":"9780465062904","price":28.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0923\/3429\/3266\/files\/15565173482353.jpg?v=1761885165","url":"https:\/\/bookstore.ubc.ca\/products\/quantum-mechanics","provider":"UBC Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
