Description: The lecture notes presented here in facsimile were prepared by Enrico Fermi for students of his course at the University of Chicago in 1954. They are vivid examples of Fermi's unique ability to lecture simply and clearly on the most essential aspects of quantum mechanics.

At the close of each lecture, Fermi created a single problem for his students. These challenging exercises were not included in Fermi's notes but were preserved in the notes of his students. This second edition includes a set of Fermi's assigned problems as compiled by a former student, Robert A. Schluter.
