OverviewBeautifully illustrated and engagingly written, Twelve Lectures in Quantum Mechanics presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking array of examples and anecdotes. Basdevant's style is clear and stimulating, in the manner of a brisk lecture that can be followed with ease and enjoyment. Here is a sample of the book's style, from the opening of Chapter 1: If one were to ask a passer-by to quote a great formula of physics, chances are that the answer would be 'E = mc2'...There is no way around it: all physics is quantum, from elementary particles, to stellar physics and the Big Bang, not to mention semiconductors and solar cells.

The strength of the book lies in Bedevant's obvious talent as a lecturer. He is engaging and interesting and uses a wide variety of examples and sources. ! These are interesting lectures and would be useful to anyone interested in an advanced introduction, or a review, of the topic. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate student; faculty. (E. Kincanon, CHOICE, Vol. 44 (11), August, 2007) This textbook presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking array of examples and anecdotes. The author's style is clear and stimulating, in the manner of a brisk classroom lecture that students can follow with ease and enjoyment. The book is written in physical language, without the excessive mathematics. (Vladimir Dzhunushaliev, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1115 (17), 2007) Author InformationA graduate of the Ecole Normale Superieure, Jean-Louis Basdevant is Professor and Chair of the Department of Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique, and Director of Research for the CNRS.
