  In Introductory Quantum Mechanics computer graphics and computer generated problems are combined in a new approach to the subject. The computer is used in conjunction with the text to illustrate concepts which are normally difficult to explain. The software can generate a large number of examples and can also aid in the solution of the problems provided. Topics traditionally covered in an undergraduate course on quantun mechanics are included: Schr^D odinger's wave equation, potential wells and angular momentum, as well as the hydrogen atom and other more realistic situations. In addition this Computer Illustrated Text is able to include some subjects that are more advanced, such as the partial-wave treatment of scattering and tilted potential wells. The principles behind these can be explained as the computer allows the solution of equations that are normally too complex for undergraduate texts. Introductory Quantum Mechanics is an ideal text for undergraduates, with a wider coverage than most books at this level.
