Abstract
This chapter presents a brief review of those aspects of quantum mechanics that are important for understanding some of the material to be found elsewhere in this book. Its purpose is not to teach the subject, because that is so very well done in numerous other textbooks [1–9]. Rather, the intent is to bring together certain things that are sometimes scattered throughout such texts, to establish notation and conventions, and to provide a reference point for many important and useful formulas.
