Starting with a simple quantum theory postulate, this text introduces mathematical techniques that help answer questions important to physical theory. The entire book is devoted to study of a particle moving in a straight line; students develop mathematical techniques by answering questions about the particle. 1981 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition originally published by Elsevier North Holland, Inc., New York, 1981.
