About the book >.>.> A student's first encounter with quantum mechanics could be a trau- matic one. Instead of the solid differential equation with respect to time (t) which is Newton's classical equation of motion, with its inevitable consequences, she or he learns that the new mechanics predicts as a rule only certain probabilities (!), and that electrons behave like a sort of wave, a bizarre notion--but an empirical fact.� When the student makes some progress in her or his study, however, she (he) will realize that, after all, things are not that bad: the funda- mental equation of the new mechanics the Schr�dinger equation-is a well-defined, perfectly respectable linear differential equation in t. and when left alone, the microscopic system evolves in a rigorously deter- ministic fashion. Not only that, but due to the quantization of finite motions, and intimately related to this, to the existence of a new funda- mental constant of Nature, the Planck constant, h, quantum mechanics provides a much sharper (and sometimes, far simpler) explanation of the properties of atoms than does classical mechanics.
