Sorry for any English mistakes, it's not my first language.
I'm building a guide in the style of "X for dummies" for QM. The idea here is to allow people from different areas of knowledge to be able to have a better grip on QM in both a mathematical stance and a desmystifying stance.
I was inspired to write this after seeing so many of my friends armed with PhDs in Biology having a hard time understanding physics concepts, even the ones related to their field such as the possible way birds see the Earth's magnect field, etc.
So I decided to write a QM guide that has enough information and math to allow someone with a PhD to follow the news and maybe even calculate a few things on their own while not being a 8 years endearvor where they basically need to get a new graduation.
So, what are the most important concepts to teach and what order should they be taught?
For example, I'm currently inclined to start by teaching hamiltonian mechanics, since that is not something you learn in my country's schools in any shape or form, while probably having to reinforce or even teach differential equations, since I'm not sure Biologists even learn differential equations.
Any insights or tips are welcome.
