Hello,

Has anyone read 'Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians'?

Link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0821846302/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I've read a few of the other books in this series, and they've been outstanding. But this one is pretty new and I can't find any reviews. And I'm not a physicist, so it's not so easy for me to jdge. Thanks for any help.

I've been wanting to read it, but I'm afraid it's too advanced for me. Looks really interesting.

There is a very positive review of it: http://www.maa.org/maa%20reviews/1155.html .
