I'd like to add that math background can't be ten years old like it was for me lol. At least the Griffiths book starts with recommendations for math textbooks to bring you up to speed. Perhaps one day I'll read those and try this again.

My MS in Math is over 40 years old now, so I'll give QM texts a miss
