I reviewed a book proposal for Cambridge University Press. They often gift books to people who do this, which I love. While I was looking at their catalog, “Quantum Mechanics: A mathematical introduction” by Larkoski (of SLAC), caught my eye. It’s supposedly a quantum mechanics course based on linear algebra.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a preface that makes me fairly convinced I’ll enjoy a technical book. The perspective articulated is exactly the kind of derivation and analysis I enjoy and learn best from. It’s technical and explanation towards a goal. Supported by simple methods.

The first few chapters have been fun to read. Although, this is material I know fairly well, so we’ll see how things go once the depth picks up.
