Quantum Theory in Search of Realityby John R. Boccio - Swarthmore College , 2017
Quantum mechanics is a collection of postulates based on a huge number of experimental observations and the ideas. In this book you will learn now the quantum world works, why it must work in this particular way, and how we might understand it.

Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applicationsby Tarun Biswas - State University of New York at New Paltz , 2003
The text maintains the separation of the minimal set of postulates from the mathematical techniques. At the same time close contact with experiment will be maintained to avoid alienating the physics student. Mathematical rigor is also be maintained.
