Reflections on the quantum mechanics and the path leading to its discovery. 330 $aThe book is about the transition from classical to quantum mechanics, covering the historical development of this great leap, and explaining the concepts needed to understand it at a level suitable for undergraduate students. The first part of the book summarizes classical electrodynamics and the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics, the two elements of classical physics which are crucial for understanding the classical to quantum transition. The second part loosely traces the historical development of the classical to quantum transition, starting with Einstein?s 1916 derivation of the Planck radiation law, continuing with the Ladenburg-Kramers-Born-Heisenberg dispersion theory and ending with Heisenberg?s magical 1925 paper which established quantum mechanics. The purpose of the book is partly historical, partly philosophical, but mainly pedagogical. It will appeal to a wide audience, from undergraduate students, for whom it can serve as a preparatory or supplementary text to standard textbooks, to physicists and historians interested in the historical development of science. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physics,$x2191-5431 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aPhysics?History 606 $aPhysics 606 $aQuantum Physics 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aConceptual Development in Physics 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aPhysics?History. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aConceptual Development in Physics. 676 $a530 676 $a530 700 $aZamastil$b Jaroslav$0823860 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910736011603321 996 $aUnderstanding the Path from Classical to Quantum Mechanics$93421446 997 $aUNINA
