The object of this course of seminar lectures is, in Professor
Schrodinger's words, to develop briefly one simple unified standard
method, capable of dealing, without changing the fundamental
attitude, with all cases (classical, quantum, Bose-Einstein,
Fermi-Dirac, etc.) and with every new problem that may arise. The
interest is focused on the general procedure, and examples are
dealt with as illustrations thereof. It is not a first introduction
for newcomers to the subject, but rather a 'repetitorium'. The
treatment of those topics, which are to be found in every one of a
hundred textbooks, is severely condensed; on the other hand, vital
points which are usually passed over in all but the large
monographs are dealt with at greater length.
Nobel laureate Erwin Schroedinger's What is Life? is one of the
great science classics of the twentieth century. It was written for
the layman, but proved to be one of the spurs to the birth of
molecular biology and the subsequent discovery of DNA. What is
Life? appears here together with Mind and Matter, his essay
investigating a relationship which has eluded and puzzled
philosophers since the earliest times. Brought together with these
two classics are Schroedinger's autobiographical sketches, which
offer a fascinating account of his life as a background to his
scientific writings.
