Designed for students familiar with abstract mathematics but not physics, this graduate-level text was written by a member of the National Academy of Science. It introduces fundamentals of classical mechanics; surveys basics of quantum mechanics; and concludes with a look at group theory and quantum mechanics of the atom. 1963 edition.

Power Math for Physics,
This review is from: Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
In 2004 Dover re-released this classic of higher mathematics originally published in 1963.
The author discovered that one of the big difficulties of teaching Quantum Mechanics is that most of the time is spent fighting with the mathematics involved. He wrote this book to address that need. This text is aimed at advanced undergraduates or graduate students in the areas of advanced mathematics, physics and quantum mechanics. It assumes a previous knowledge of Calculus, Advanced Calculus, Differential Equations and some college level physics. The text is divided into three parts covering Classical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Group Theory and the Quantum Mechanics of the atom. If you are afraid of math, be afraid. Be very afraid. If your mathematical curiosity is greater than your fear OR you are a student of physics, this book fills, in one volume, a much needed niche.

Mathematical Physics,

This review is from: Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
This book tries to cover, (but not with success) the needed mathematics for learning or teaching Quantum Mechanics. The contains of a course in Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics must include mainly two branches of Mathematics: Group theory and Operator theory. The corresponded chapters in the book are short. This book, written in a high level, is difficult to be understood by undergraduate students. It is proper for postgraduates

QM foundations by mackey,
This review is from: Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics (Dover Books on Physics) (Paperback)
very good and clear book in mathematical foundations of QM, although a little bit dated.
