With approximately one hundred and fifty solved problems, review questions at the beginning of each chapter, and multiple-choice tests for periodic self-assessment by the reader, the book is designed to provide effective assistance to the student of Physics or Engineering who is taking the first core course in quantum mechanics and is facing for the first time the conceptual and mathematical peculiarities of this fundamental physical theory.

The two "final exam samples" at the end of the book will also help the reader to conduct their own final check on the level of understanding they have achieved up to that point and to adjust accordingly their "final round" of study.

The chapters of the book cover the material of a typical semester course in Quantum Mechanics, starting from old quantum theory and reaching up to spin and the generalized Pauli principle.
