Title: Not for the light-hearted
Product review: I was required to use this text for my graduate courses in Quantum Mechanics. It is by far the worst text on the subject I have ever had the misfortune of using. Hecht's presentation of subject matter is disorganized and often incoherent. His ability to explain with any amount of clarity even the most elementary principles is lacking at best, and his command of the English language is absolutely appalling for someone of his education. The author claims that this book is "self-contained and can be used by students without a previous course in quantum mechanics." Don't believe it! This text may be useful for someone who has already taken a few grauate courses in quantum mechanics, but is utterly useless for learning purposes. Hecht should be ashamed of himself for writing such a waste of paper, and I will slap the man if I ever meet him.
