What's your experience with it?

This was my quantum book. I'm sure everyone whose taken quantum knows of this book. I really liked it. Clear, straightforward and well written. It even had a few jokes in it.

Well, my HS didn't offer AP Physics B or C, so I had to take the non-calc version. I've basically covered most everything in the book already, so I can't really judge how helpful it is. I was just interested in how other people liked/disliked the book.

I don't think you'd be ready for the calc version in highschool anyway. You'd have to be really comfortable with integrals and in my experience most people aren't really comfortable with them until their first year of college. And even then a lot of people struggle with it. I think in highschool it suffices to learn the basics without calc and then learn it more in depth later. That's pretty much what all of physics is. First you learn it the easy way, then you learn it with a bit more math, then you learn it again with even more math and so on and so forth.

This is the "Standard" for Basic undergrad Quantum. It is well written.
