Summary
This chapter starts out a short, two-chapter section on very basic mathematics of quantum mechanics, appropriate for those who have taken undergraduate science or engineering courses. The method of “unit analysis” is used as a way of getting at when quantum mechanics will play a role in the behavior of things.
