N2  - the author has published two texts on classical physics, introduction to Classical Mechanics and Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism, both meant for initial one-quarter
physics courses. The present text completes the first-year introduction to physics with a set of lectures on Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, the very successful theory of the microscopic world. The Schrödinger equation is motivated and presented. Several applications are explored, including scattering and transition rates. The applications are
extended to include quantum electrodynamics and quantum statistics. There is a discussion of quantum measurements. The lectures then arrive at a formal presentation of quantum
theory together with a summary of its postulates. A concluding chapter provides a brief introduction to relativistic quantum
mechanics. An extensive set of accessible problems again enhances and extends the coverage. The goal of these three texts is to provide students and teachers alike with a good,
understandable, introduction to the fundamentals of classical and quantum physics
