A streamlined introduction to quantum mechanics which describes the basic mathematical structures underpinning this discipline. Starting with an overview of the key physical experiments illustrating the origin of the physical foundations, the book proceeds to a description of the basic notions of quantum mechanics and their mathematical content. It then makes its way to topics of current interest, specifically those in which mathematics plays an important role. «
