Abstract

C W Kilmister (ed) 1987 Cambridge: Cambridge University Press ix + 253 pp price £30 ISBN 0 521 34017 9 Many of the invited papers presented at a conference held in April 1987 to celebrate the centenary of Erwin Schrödinger's birth are contained in this book. For the most part they deal with scientific issues with which Schrödinger was concerned.

Erwin Schrödinger: An Introduction to His Writings

F. I. G. RAWLINS

W. T. Scott Amherst, Mass.: The University of Massachusetts Press. 1967. Pp. xv + 175. Price $6.50. The author modestly calls his book ‘An Introduction to the Writings of Erwin Schrodinger’ and that is correct. Nevertheless, he has produced a commentary of real depth upon the work of one of the outstanding mathematical physicists of the century.
