Abstract: In the course of teaching quantum mechanics at undergraduate and post-graduate level, we have come to the conclusion that there is another original book to be written on the subject. The abstract setting foreseen by Dirac and the geometric view pioneered by von Neumann are finding new realizations, leading to further progress both in physics and mathematics, while the applications to quantum computation are opening a new era in modern science. Our emphasis is mainly on structural issues and geometric ideas, moving the reader gradually from the concepts of classical mechanics to those of quantum mechanics, but we have also inserted many problems for students throughout the text, since the book is written, in the first place, for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for research workers.
