The Logic of Quantum Mechanics: Volume 15, Paperback / softback Book

The Logic of Quantum Mechanics: Volume 15 Paperback / softback

Edited by Gian-Carlo Rota

Part of the Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications series

Paperback / softback

Description

Originally published in 1981, this book forms volume 15 of the Encyclopedia of Mathematics and its Applications.

The text provides a clear and thorough treatment of its subject, adhering to a clean exposition of the mathematical content of serious formulations of rational physical alternatives of quantum theory as elaborated in the influential works of the period, to which the authors made a significant contribution.

The treatment falls into three distinct, logical parts: in the first part, the modern version of accumulated wisdom is presented, avoiding as far as possible the traditional language of classical physics for its interpretational character; in the second part, the individual structural elements for the logical content of the theory are laid out; in part three, the results of section two are used to reconstruct the usual Hilbert space formulation of quantum mechanics in a novel way.
