HistoryThe first edition of this book (including bras, kets and all that) was published when the author was 28. Ponder that a bit, you hot-shots who would scrimp on the stars you give this book. I agree with an earlier reviewer that the first chapter alone justifies buying the book. I've long kept this book on my shelf to remind myself about how beautifully expository prose can be written, and how far I have to go to equal it. ...

Reading them, it was easy to miss the forest for the trees. That made this book, when it came out in 1930, all the more powerful. As Dirac said in his introduction, he tried to keep physics to the forefront, and began with an entirely physical...

First, a disclosure: this was my first QM text. That's right. I picked it up as a sophomore in electrical engineering. This could easily have nipped any hope for a career in research. Rather, I was immediately taken by the undeniable elegance of the exposition. (I distinctly recall my first impression of the discussion on page 9 which is exceptionally lucid on the subject of what QM does and does not tell us about quantized...

Wonderful insights, not to be found anywhere else, in almost every page. Supremely elegant, yet natural and self-contained. The whole way of writing physics was transformed by this gem of a book. Learn, at Chapter V, what led Feynman to his version of Quantum Mechanics. Schwinger...
