Quantum Physics for mere humans

Hi All,

I’m currently in the process of learning the basics of Quantum Physics. I’m having some problems getting started, as I feel like every time I follow a specific direction it just leads me to a labyrinth of new information.

Can someone please suggest a structured approach to getting started in the field? Books \ Course \ Online ..

I’m also not a very strong math person …aka I have not done calculus at all. I’m certain those that use math in the field would consider this an essential skill, so I guess my question really boils down to:

  1. How do I get a good grounding in Quantum Physics?
  2. Is it completely necessary to have strong math skill to get
     anywhere in this form of study?

Thanks
Warrick
