Negative Positive
Title: Deceptively pedagogical with lousy exercises.
Review: Don't be fooled by the informal style of this text. Griffiths has a bad habit of leaving many important results to the exercises, and he also briskly jumps over many difficult steps. He doesn't even provide a plausability argument for the Schroedinger equation (I know it's not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt to provide the steps how Schroedinger arrived at his famous equation).His exercises are very lousy and have little effect in reinforcing the material. A much better book is <I>Principles of Quantum Mechanics</I> by Shankar or <I>Quantum Mechanics</I> by Cohen-Tannoudji.In short, Griffiths' text has too many holes. (It's a shame this book is not in par with his excellent <I>Introduction to Electrodynamics</I>.)
