How to Learn Quantum Mechanics from START to FINISH

Anyone can learn quantum mechanics — that includes you

Quantum Mechanics is a fascinating subject. Full of crazy stories and even crazier math, it lures us into the subject by presenting interesting pictures of cats being dead and alive, and particles talking at a distance. But many people like quantum mechanics so much that they decide that the pop-science explanations aren’t enough, and want to study the material in full mathematical detail. Then, they open up their first quantum mechanics book and see an integral of a delta function, so they decide that maybe they just weren’t made for math. And finally, they throw the book into the recycling bin. If that’s you, don’t worry. Many people jump into quantum mechanics unprepared and make the subject much harder than it needs to be. So in today’s article, we’ll learn how to learn quantum mechanics in full mathematical detail without bursting into tears. Here’s the guide to quantum mechanics.

Rule #1: Learn the Prerequisites

You wouldn’t climb Mount Everest without first climbing smaller mountains. The same is true for quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics uses linear algebra, differential equations, and multivariable calculus, so you need to learn those before diving into quantum mechanics. How can you possibly learn all those 3 subjects…
