A review of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics Clear, accessible treatment of underlying mathematics … It would be particularly useful to beginning students and those in allied areas like quantum chemistry." (Mathematical Reviews) The style is conversational, more like a corridor talk or lecture notes, though arranged as a text. "This massive text of 700 and odd pages has indeed an excellent get-up, is very verbal and expressive, and has extensively worked out calculational details-all just right for a first course. Shankar attacks the problem head-on in the first chapter, and in a very informal style suggests that there is nothing to be frightened of." (Physics Bulletin)
"No matter how gently one introduces students to the concept of Dirac’s bras and kets, many are turned off. "An excellent text … The postulates of quantum mechanics and the mathematical underpinnings are discussed in a clear, succinct manner." (American Scientist)
