  abstract: "This book offers a constructive approach to the inner product space formulation of Quantum Mechanics as opposed to inductive approaches based on intuitive associations or blatant axiomatic approaches. It strives to explain the purpose and meaning of the mathematical framework used in the standard description of Quantum Mechanics"--
