Are you fucking kidding me? This is a shitty 1st year undergrad bullshit textbook that doesn't cover anything. You will be eaten alive going to graduate level mechanics after that bullshit.

Do the Feynman lectures, then move on to this.

You will need to know basic classical mech (Newtonian, Lagragain, and Hamiltonian) before you can really start quantum mech. Quantum mech will build upon basic classical mech.

A good book for basic mech is pic.
Good Luck.

Again, you do the math. I already gave you a book to look at. The Book will explan that shit step-by-step.

I am not gonna waste my time with you, trying to explain it. Plus you need pre-reqs to understand this shit. Do you know regular mech? What a lagragian or hamiltonian are? How to use them?

You should probably just go read a book if you want tp understand physics. Here is a good introphysics book for you. Maybe if you learn it, you will be able to understand Quantum Mechanics one day. Good Luck.

Yeah, well you need to have a good grasp of the basics (Lagragian and Hamiltonian Mech), in order to understand the more advanced shit.

>I'm not interested in following the curriculum set ahead for me

Why? Most physics curriculms are all the same. You need that baby shit to understand the more advanced shit. If you try and skip ahead you will not get very far, and just end up wasting a great deal of your time. But learn the hard way....for all I care.

You need basic mech, before you can really understand quantum mech. So I suggest you just read Marrion and Thorton. It may seem boring as fuck, but all those conceptS in there are needed for more advanced physics.
