Author Harry J. Lipkin, a well-known teacher at Israel's Weizmann
Institute, takes an unusual approach by introducing many
interesting physical problems and mathematical techniques at a
much earlier point than in conventional texts. This method
enables students to observe the physical implications and useful
applications of quantum theory before mastering the formalism in
detail, and it provides them with new mathematical tools at an
earlier stage for use in subsequent problems.
