Abstract
The first half of the twentieth century has witnessed two major revolutions in our understanding of the physical world. One of them, quantum mechanics, deals with the description of physical systems and their dynamics; the other, relativity, concerns the nature and properties of space-time. Here, we will summarize the basic principles of quantum mechanics, again without any claim of completeness, and will not deal with the theory of relativity, since it will not be used in this book.
