This book presents a history of the correspondence principle from a
new perspective. The author provides a unique exploration of the
relation between the practice of theory and conceptual development
in physics. In the process, he argues for a new understanding of
the history of the old quantum theory and the emergence of quantum
mechanics. The analysis looks at how the correspondence principle
was disseminated and how the principle was applied as a research
tool during the 1920s. It provides new insights into the
interaction between theoretical tools and scientific problems and
shows that the use of this theoretical tool changed the tool itself
in a process of transformation through implementation. This
process, the author claims, was responsible for the conceptual
development of the correspondence principle. This monograph
connects to the vast literature in the history of science, which
analyzed theoretical practices as based on tacit knowledge, skills,
and calculation techniques. It contributes to the historical
understanding of quantum physics and the emergence of quantum
mechanics. Studying how physicists used a set of tools to solve
problems, the author spells out the skillful guessing" that went
into the making of quantum theoretical arguments and argues that
the integration and implementation of technical resources was a
central driving force for the conceptual and theoretical
transformation in the old quantum theory.
