The fundamentals of quantum mechanics are introduced through a detailed discussion of the physics
of intrinsic spin. Such an approach has a number of significant advantages. First, students find starting a
course with something new both interesting and exciting. Second, spin systems provide us with many
beautiful but straightforward illustrations of the essential structure of quantum mechanics. Third,students will
see that wave mechanics is only one aspect of quantum mechanics, not the fundamental
core of the subject. They see at an early stage that wave mechanics and matrix mechanics are just
different ways of calculating based on the same underlying quantum mechanics.
