Much of the material about the axiomatic approach to quantum mechanics is not treated in detail in our main textbook, so I am supplying some supplementary references here.

My transparencies on the postulates of QM:
Pages 1-2
Pages 3-4
Page 5.

Excerpts from Shankar's introduction to the postulates (note that there is no universal agreement of how to number these postulates!):
Pages 1-5
Pages 6-10.

Excerpts from Shankar's review of linear algebra and introduction to Dirac notation:
Pages 1-4
Pages 5-8.
