Are there any other competeing theories out there?
The definitive resource is Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, David J. Griffiths. It's an undergraduate text that probably weighs more than me and costs over $100 although it's possible to find a used book for around $85. Ebay had what I thought was "it" for only $15 so I bid on it and was amazed to learn I was winner. Eagerly anticipating, every day I would check the mail notices until the day a folder of papers by the same title. arrived -- only it wasn't "it." It was the complete set of problem solutions to the text. Now what?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
