This introduction to quantum theory uses that language to enable the reader to comprehend the notoriously non-intuitive ideas of quantum physics. The mathematical knowledge needed for using this book comes from standard undergraduate mathematics courses and is described in detail in the section Prerequisites. This text is especially aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, computer science, engineering and chemistry among other disciplines, provided they have the math background even though lacking preparation in physics. In fact, no previous formal study of physics is assumed. 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aMathematical Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M35000 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 14$aMathematical Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Physics. 676 $a530.15 700 $aSontz$b Stephen Bruce$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0755560 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418280303316 996 $aAn Introductory Path to Quantum Theory$91911023 997 $aUNISA
