Rezensionen

"The book presents a large variety of important subjects, including the basic principles of quantum mechanics ... . This good book is recommended for mathematicians, physicists, philosophers of physics, researchers, and advanced students in mathematics and physics, as well as for readers with some elementary physics, multivariate calculus and linear algebra courses." (Michael M. Dediu, Mathematical Reviews, June, 2018)
