I am a 4th-year undergraduate student and I have fully read R. Shankar's book on Quantum Mechanics and Griffiths book Quantum Mechanics. I have also done a bit of the Application of QM on multielectron systems,molecules, etc.

Not going ahead in the application part, I want to focus on the foundations of QM part which I find really interesting. But I have very limited knowledge of mathematics. I have read Curtis "An introduction to Linear Algebra", Gallian "Group Theory"(1-10 chapters only) and have a little bit of knowledge on differential geometry.

With this as my Mathematical background, which would be the best book (a bit mathematical) for introduction to Quantum Mechanics which includes an introduction to Hilbert Space and functional analysis?

PS: My question is specifically for the ones who have limited mathematical knowledge in contrast to answers which assumes you have done graduate level mathematics.

  • $\begingroup$ In one volume would be the QM book by Nair, or extended by Manoukian, or in two volumes the QM book by Galindo and Pascual. $\endgroup$
