<br/><br/> This is the first textbook to introduce a modern approach to teaching quantum mechanics. The modern approach involves introducing the subject through examples such as detailed discussion of the physics of intrinsic spin. Unlike other books on the subject, it does not introduce the subject through wave mechanics.
