Erwin Schrödinger: An Introduction to His Writings

F. I. G. RAWLINS

Published Nov 1, 1967• 1 citation
Publisher

Abstract

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.

Introduction to the Quantum Theory

David L Hurd

David Park McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1964. Pp. xv + 547. Price 83s. 6d. There are surely few branches of physics which have been so amply, and repetitively, documented as the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Suppressing an almost overwhelming impression of déjà vu, one opens this new entry to the field to find that the text is so organized as to present the discussion of the theory in Part I, and to segregate the applications to Part II, an arrangement for which there is much to be said and which, when as thoughtfully carried out as in the example under review, allows the student, and the lecturer, the opportunity to mix his own blend of theory and application.

Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians and Physicists

Nicholas Kemmer

By Ernest Ikenberry London: Oxford University Press. Pp. xii + 269. Price 64s. The number of quantum mechanics texts available nowadays is so large that when another one appears it is a priori unlikely to show any great novelty of treatment or to promise to score heavily over its rivals. Choice of one particular treatment for teaching or learning purposes must become a matter of personal preferences not easily justified in detail.

Today one is faced with the symbols and concepts (field operators, Feynman graphs, Green functions, the S matrix, and so on) of what to many must seem an inaccessible world.

Foundations of Quantum Theory

R. F. Streater

S Wieder New York: Academic Press 1973 pp xv + 399 price $13.95 This book is not really concerned with the foundations of quantum theory, in any mathematical or philosophical sense; rather, it is a textbook at the intermediate level aimed at physics students in their final undergraduate year. One might ask why it was written.
