By Brailey on August 1, 2016
As a pure mathematician I have lectured on the theory of Hilbert spaces for many years and known of its relevance to Quantum Mechanics; after all their theory was formalised by von Neumann in his 1930's book on QM. However until reading Susskind's book I never properly understood the essence of the connection. It is a beautifully executed exposition penetrating to the very essence of QM, accessible to anyone with a knowledge of basic calculus and the algebra of vectors and matrices and even much of what is required of these is nicely explained ( background in Hilbert spaces is certainly not a prerequisite). Like a good novel, "Quantum Mechanics: the Theoretical Mimimum" constantly drew me on as I worked through it. I know of no better introduction for anyone wishing to understand QM at anything other than the superficial level of most popular accounts.
