Inhaltsangabe

Written for advanced undergraduate students, physicists, and historians and philosophers of physics, this book explains the origins of quantum mechanics from a historical perspective. It delves much deeper than other books, explaining how a coherent theory was developed and why it has to be as complex as it is.
