Intended to serve as a textbook for honours and postgraduate students of physics, this book provides a comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts, mathematical formalism and methodology of quantum mechanics. The aim of this book is to give a reasonably comprehensive introduction to the fundamental concepts, mathematical formalism and methodology of quantum mechanics, without assuming any previous acquaintance with the subject.
We have included a large number of examples distributed through the text, especially in the earlier chapters, to facilitate a quick grasp of the principal ideas and methods, and in some cases, to indicate their extensions or applications. Some supplementary material, as well as background material for ready reference, is given in the Appendices.

Approximation Methods for Stationary States
Scattering Theory
