Recenzii
'… a beautiful book … should be included in any respectable physics library.' Daniela Dragoman, Optics and Photonics News
Descriere
Written for advanced undergraduate students, physicists, and historians and philosophers of physics, this book explains the origins of quantum mechanics from a historical perspective. It delves much deeper than other books, explaining how a coherent theory was developed and why it has to be as complex as it is.
