Quantum Physics is a unique book in that it has a mathematical orientation and focuses only on the core quantum concepts. * Balances mathematical discussions with physical discussions * Derivations are complete and the theory is applied whenever possible * Gasiorowicz is a world class researcher in quantum physics.

Since the publication of the first edition over 35 years ago, Quantum Physics has been one of the standard quantum mechanics texts for undergraduate physics majors. Its hallmarks are clear, concise exposition and a balance of theory and applications. In the 3rd Edition, the author has made numerous changesbased on feedback from teachers and studentsto enhance the book's strengths. One of the author's important goals has been to offer teachers and students a textbook that is manageable in one semester. However, recognizing that some teachers like to go into more depth on certain topics, he has developed a web site where more detailed presentations can be found.

Stephen George Gasiorowicz was an American theoretical physicist. He was born in Danzig in 1928 and graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1952.
