This present edition of the book follows the generally pedagogic style of Quantum Mechanics. The scope ranges from relativistic quantum mechanics to an introduction to quantum field theory with quantum electrodynamics as the basic example and ends with an exposition of important issues related to the standard model. The book presents the subject in basic and easy-to-grasp notions which will enhance the purpose of this book as a useful textbook in the area of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.

Readership: Students, lecturers in university undergraduate courses.
Key Features:

  • This second edition updates the material for the 21st century audience (youths and millennials) to read and appreciate
  • The author believes quantum mechanics and quantum field theory should be the language of our era — to replace the thoughts in Newton's classic era
  • Important developments in quantum electrodynamics is included in the text. Comparatively, most other quantum mechanics textbooks stop just before quantum electrodynamics (or that topic is delegated to electrodynamics textbooks instead)
