More about the book
Focusing on the transition from classical to quantum mechanics, the book provides a historical overview and essential concepts for undergraduate students. It begins with classical electrodynamics and the Hamiltonian formulation, crucial for understanding this shift. The narrative traces significant developments, including Einstein's derivation of the Planck radiation law and Heisenberg's pivotal 1925 paper that established quantum mechanics. Designed to be both pedagogical and historical, it appeals to students, physicists, and historians alike.
