The book is a text on quantum mechanics. It starts from an elementary level and gradually develops into advanced level. The difficult concepts are progressively developed. They are not glossed over but are explained thoroughly. The uniformity of treatment enables the reader to go over difficult and advanced topics without strain. The emphasis is on the basic concepts and the methodology rather than on specific applications.
