About the book (back cover text): This book has been written with the notion that a wave is associated with a particle i.e. wave and particle coexist. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle has been described taking this into account. This volume has a threefold purposes: [i] to explain the physical concepts of Quantum Mechanics, [ii] to describe mathematical formalism, and [iii] to present illustrative examples of both ideas and methods. The book is intended as a text book on Quantum Mechanics for undergraduate and graduate levels and also as a reference book for anyone who is interested in this field of enquiry. The book consists of 17 chapters. Particular interest of the readers will be attracted to the chapters on Matrix formulation, variational and WKB methods, general angular momentum and their addition. Author biography (back cover text): The author is Dr Muhammad Alauddin Khan (alauddinkhan009472@gmail.com), Associate Professor, Department of Physics, Government M. C. College, National University, Sylhet 3100, Bangladesh. He has been teaching Physics for more than 25 years for upper undergraduate and graduate students. The book is based on his lectures to the students.
