There are some translation/copy-writing issues but don't let that put you off. It has a solid coverage of quantization of Hamiltonian mechanics in both matrix mechanics and wave mechanics, and then the unification of the two - all following the historical narrative.
- leephillips 5y agoLooks interesting, but at $969 for the hardcover and over $100 for the paperback, I think I’ll wait for the movie.
- HarryHirsch 5y agoThe autopricers are a pox on the market. It's even worse when you contact the seller, making them a reasonable offer, and they reply that their pricing algorithm knows better.
- leephillips 5y agoI know. There was an amusing article a while back showing autopricers from two merchants fighting with each other. I think one of the lessons was that you can pretend to have your own copy for sale, then keep lowering the price. The bot will follow you all the way down to almost zero—then you buy the book.
