Preface
This book can be regarded as a concise introduction to basic quantum mechanics: free particle, bound states, and scattering in one and in three dimensions, two-particle systems, special functions of mathematical physics. But the book can also be seen as an extensive user's guide for INTERQUANTA, the Interactive Program of Quantum Mechanics, which we will abbreviate henceforth as IQ. The book also contains a large number of exercises. The program can be used in two ways. By working through (at least a part of) these exercises, the u
