Internally clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of von Neumann's importent papers in which he gave a mathematically precise formulation of the foundation of Quantum MeChanics basing the theory on the use of Hilbert spaces."He von Neumann developed between 1927 and 1929 a new mathematical framework of the theory subsequently proved to be the most suitable formalism of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics as we use it today as well as of its extensions the relativistic quantum mechanics of partcles and the quantum theory of fields."Max Jammer "The Conceptual Development og Quantum Mechanics" pp.314-15"Von Neumann’s most famous work in theoretical physics is his axiomatization of quantum mechanics. When he began work in that field in 1927 the methods used by its founders were hard to formulate in precise mathematical terms; "operator" on "functions" were handled without much consideration of their domain or definition to their topological properties: and it was blithely assumed that such "operators" when self-adjoint could always be "diagonalized" as in th finite dimensional case at the expense of introducing "Dirac functions" as "eigenvectors." Von Neumann showed that mathematical rigor could be restored by taking as basic axioms the assumptions that the states of a physical system were poinds of a Hilbert space and that the measurable quantities were Hermitian generally unbounded operators densely efined in that space. This formalism. the practical use of which became available after von Neumann had developed the spectral theory of unbounded Hermitian operators 1929 has survived subsequent developments of quantum mechanics and is still the basisi of non relativistic quantum theory; with the introduction of the theory of distributions it has even become possible to interpret its results in a way similar to Dirac’s original intuition."DSB. </em> hardcover

Clean. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of grounbreaking paper which was the first to explain the nature of the chemical bound using wave mechanics and thus explaining the forces active when atoms exchange electrons and creating molecules."In June Heitler and London published their famous paper on the hydrogen molecule in which they showed the existence of a new kind of saturable nondynamic forces the so-called "exchange forces" of attraction or repulsion between like particles and developed a schematic theory of the homopolar valence which eventually BROUGHT THE WHOLE OF CHEMISTRY UNDER THE SOVEREIGNTY OF QUANTUM MECHANICS. These results not only lent weight to the concept of like particles they also showed that like particles may be indistinguishable that is may lose their identity a conclusion which follows from the uncertainty relations or more precisely from the impossibility of keeping track of the individual particles in case of interactions of like particles.

Maclaurin had found as possible shapes some ellipsoids of revolution to which Jacobi had added other types of ellipsoids with unequal axes and P.G. Tait and W.Thomson some annular shapes. By a penetrating analysis of the problem Poincaré showed that still other "pyriform" shaoes exosted. One of the features of his interesting argument is that apparently for the first time he was confronted with the problem of minimizing a quadratic form in "infinitely" many variables."DSB. </em> unknown
