Quantum mechanics was still in its infancy in 1932 when the young
John von Neumann, who would go on to become one of the greatest
mathematicians of the twentieth century, published Mathematical
Foundations of Quantum Mechanics--a revolutionary book that for the
first time provided a rigorous mathematical framework for the new
science. Robert Beyer's 1955 English translation, which von Neumann
reviewed and approved, is cited more frequently today than ever
before. But its many treasures and insights were too often obscured
by the limitations of the way the text and equations were set on
the page. In this new edition of this classic work, mathematical
physicist Nicholas Wheeler has completely reset the book in TeX,
making the text and equations far easier to read. He has also
corrected a handful of typographic errors, revised some sentences
for clarity and readability, provided an index for the first time,
and added prefatory remarks drawn from the writings of LĂ©on Van
Hove and Freeman Dyson. The result brings new life to an essential
work in theoretical physics and mathematics.
