Quantum Mechanics: Non-Relativistic Theory

The book is an excellent reference for graduate students and show the mastery of Lev Landau (Noble laureate in Physics). It is a very good way to learn quantum mechanics. The only down side is that it is not very explanatory.

ATTENTION: The five star rating applies only to the textbook and the author, NOT to the publisher. It's really embarrassing that such a nice textbook is published and printed in extremely bad quality. I bought this book three years ago, despite my greed to read it, I never managed to, because of the extremely bad typesetting and using incredibly small font size by the publisher. The equations are hardly readable. This is really a big shame to the publisher. Poor Landau would be shaken in grave if he knew how bad his textbooks were published under his name. I am already looking for another (perhaps older) version of this book that could be at least readable. A question to the publisher: Seriously, I wonder if you ever had a look at the text inside this book to see what you did with printing? Did you ever think how the poor reader of the book would manage reading 700 pages of tiny letters and symbols, or you were just thinking of the money you could get out of his pocket?

I had read that these editions are something like printed versions of those scanned djvu files that you can find on the web if you search carefully enough. I just confirmed that. Although I is not as cathastrophic as I feared, it is really disappoiting. Regarding the content, it is a Landau book, so there is not much to say.

You definitely need their "compilation of tasks" (рус. Сборник задач по квантовой механике) to parallel its contents and challenge your learning. Luckily, each good Russian university uses this book as a standard textbook-even these days. So once one knows Russian language, looking for these compilations will be easy! The author assumes reader are already familiar with math logics and background theories... it will not be an easy book

Wow, Landaus' book is just amazing. A great read. His whole series is just fabulous. I have read most of his books and have to admit that Russian physics is well outstanding because of this.

Kindle version of Landau's course of theoretical physics contains many typo. Quantum Mechanics is not an exception. Be careful to read kindle version of this book. Compare it with the printed version, if possible.

I wish I could get far enough through this book to comment on the content, but the print quality is so poor that I had to give up on it after the first few equations; they're entirely illegible. It's as if the publisher compiled this edition by pasting together low-quality photocopies of fragments of earlier ones.

The unique thing that can be state for Landau is perfection. High formalism, precise comments and several examples have made an obligated text for students.

Buena impresión y calidad.

Such great book deserves better printing quality!

Chegou antes do prazo. Porém com um amasdo na borda inferior da capa do livro

It's a classical textbook and must be read if you are interested in understanding the subject.

Great
