Originally published, Springer, 1933. Previous ed. 1951 (B51-12935). Additions and alterations to this edition are in matters of detail and expansion rather t…han in a presentation of new and fundamental concepts. In view of the important successes of quantum electrodynamics an attempt has been made to describe the renormalization techniques to which these successes must largely be attributed. the shell model and the collective model of the nucleus are not firmly established, and are discussed more fully. The section on high energy physics machines has been expanded. More details have been given to the resonance methods. Nobel Laureate's lucid treatment of kinetic theory of gases, elementary particles, nuclear atom, wave-corpuscles, atomic structure and spectral lines, much more. Sixth edition. No publisher noted--pirated edition.

[++] In 1920, Niels Bohr introduced the concept known as the "correspondence principle" in the realm of quantum mechanics. This principle postulates that the predictions of quantum mechanics should correspond to the classical physics predictions for large quantum numbers or systems with high energies, thus bridging the gap between the new quantum theory and the previously established classical physics. The idea comes a little earlier (but unnamed) in 1913 and again more explicitly in 1918 but it is not until 1920 [in this paper] that it is named.

"Zur Quantenmechanik II" in Zeitschrift fur Physik, Vieweg and Springer, Berlin, 1926, volume 35, pp 557-6. This is the original issue, in the original wra…ppers, comprising pp 557-722, with the Heisenberg/Born/Jordan paper on pp 557-615. [++] The wrappers are a little dusty, and there's two annotations on the cover plus a chopmark owner's stamp. Also the spine has been expertly replaced a lovely piece of restorative work. The issue is housed in a beautiful clamshell box bound in brown and red calf, with the title of the work gilt-stamped on the front cover and "Three-Man Paper" and the authors' names on the spine. The box measures 10"x 7"x 1.75". Condition: the issue is VG; the box housing it is new. [++] "Born and his assistant, Pascual Jordan, quickly developed the mathematical content of Heisenberg s work into a consistent theory with the help of abstract matrix algebra. Their work, in collaboration with Heisenberg, culminated in their three-man paper [the paper offered here] that served as the foundation of matrix mechanics. Confident of the correctness of the new theory, Heisenberg, Pauli, Born, Dirac, and others began applying the difficult mathematical formalism to the solution of lingering problems. But most physicists soon welcomed a rival theory propounded by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926. Schrödinger offered a quantum wave mechanics that purported to replace electron orbits, banish quantum jumps, and require only the familiar methods of partial differential equations. His recognition of the mathematical equivalence of the rival theories and his claim that his theory superseded matrix mechanics caused a flurry of activity among the matrix mechanicians."--Complete DSB online, (Heisenberg). [++] "The 1925 paper On quantum mechanics by M. Born and P. Jordan, and the sequel On quantum mechanics II by M. Born, W. Heisenberg, and P. Jordan, developed Heisenberg s pioneering theory into the first complete formulation of quantum mechanics." noted in the paper by William A. Fedaka and Jeffrey J. Prentis in their work on the 1925 paper, "The 1925 Born and Jordan paper On quantum mechanics in American Journal of Physics 77, 128, 2009. [++] [The paper offered here] often referred to as the three-man paper, extended Zur Quantenmechanik [Max Born and Pascual Jordan 1925] to an arbitrary number of degrees of freedom, and is now called the first complete statement of matrix mechanics and the foundational document of a new quantum mechanics. --David Wenner, in "History of Physics, the Wenner Collection.".
