The Principles of Quantum Mechanics
Book • 1930
This influential book, first published in 1930, provides a comprehensive and abstract treatment of quantum mechanics.
Dirac introduces the subject using his 'symbolic method,' which focuses on the algebraic axioms and the connection between equations and physical conditions.
The book is notable for its rigorous mathematical approach, starting with an entirely physical chapter and then delving into detailed mathematical formulations.
It covers key topics such as the principle of superposition, transformation theory, and the application of group theory to quantum mechanics.
The book is considered a landmark in the development of quantum theory and has been highly influential in the education of physicists.

Mentioned by Jacob Barandes as a book he likes, highlighting a fallacy in its chapter on the classical limit.
