The lecture notes presented here in facsimile were prepared by Enrico Fermi for students taking his course at the University of Chicago in 1954. They are vivid examples of his 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 these assigned problems as compiled by one of his former students, Robert A. Schluter.

Enrico Fermi was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1938.

About the Author:

Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) was the Charles H. Swift Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Chicago and winner of the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on artificial radioactivity produced by neutron bombardment. Fermi was one of the lead physicists on the Manhattan Project and played an important role in the first controlled nuclear chain reaction and the development of the atomic bomb.
