[交流] Lectures on Quantum Mechanics By Paul A. M. Dirac

Lectures on Quantum Mechanics
By Paul A. M. Dirac



Publisher: Dover Publications
Number Of Pages: 96
Publication Date: 2001-03-22
ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0486417131
ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780486417134
Binding: Paperback

Four concise, brilliant lectures on mathematical methods by the Nobel Laureate and quantum pioneer begin with an introduction to visualizing quantum theory through the use of classical mechanics. The remaining lectures build on that idea, examining the possibility of building a relativistic quantum theory on curved surfaces or flat surfaces.



Summary: Simple and light
Rating: 4

Very simple and light book about foundations of quantum mechanics. No one should expect any enhancement of knowledge. It is interesting title from rather historical point of view.


Summary: Short and good
Rating: 5

This book is really fun it contains a series of lectures given by Dirac, although it is really really short it is well worth its price because it gives you a good view in the problems of Quantum Mech of the time


Summary: not for beginners
Rating: 3

If you have 5 books on Quantum mechanics already and are a big fan of Dirac, then this is O.K.
The book is a set of lectures that are not for beginners
( the audience was best and brightest professors at Yeshiva.)
I get the personal feeling that Paul Dirac should have read more Klein on group invariants,
more Weyl on gauge theory, and more Cartan on Lie Algebra theory,
but there is no doubt that he knew what he was talking about
and was the master of field quantization. Just not showing well here...


Summary: A must have
Rating: 5

From the master himself: Paul Dirac. Very sharp, to-the-point and complete overview of the Quantum Theory. But from Dirac's point of view it's an interesting angle to review things.


Summary: Has been surpassed
Rating: 3

My three star review is no criticism of Dirac - after all, he is the pioneer of the theory of Hamiltonians with constraints and as such deserves all the credit that is due. However I would like to redirect you to Henneaux and Teitelboim's book on quantization of gauge systems since they have done much to clarify the mathematics behind the theory and I think give a better introduction to the field than Dirac's dated book.
