If you are currently studying this material, I can help you break down specific equations or problem types.g., the 1D Infinite Square Well solutions).
The book begins by setting the historical context, outlining the "troubling questions" that classical physics couldn't answer at the turn of the 20th century. This chapter sets the stage for why a revolutionary new way of thinking about the physical world was necessary.
