Principles Of Quantum Mechanics
(P.A.M. Dirac)
This book, published in 1930 and modernized from the author in successive editions, it is directed to those who want to learn the language adapted to the formulation of every quantistic problem and presupposes therefore one preliminary acquaintance of the essential phenomena of the atomic mechanics.
This formative character of the book of Dirac is testified from the infuence that it has had in the modern physics literature.The language of the quantistic mechanics has received in this work its first systematic and definitive development.The book reflects Dirac's very characteristic approach: abstract but simple, always selecting the important points and arguing with unbeatable logic.Dirac combined the theories of quantum mechanics and special relativity. The resulting Dirac equation, which is still widely used today, was able to explain the mysterious magnetic and "spin" properties of the electron.The principles of Quantum Mechanics conveyed to generations of students a powerful impression of the coherence and elegance of quantum theory. It constituted his principal contribution to education, for he took very few research students.
