1928ref. 47068Berlin Weidmannsche Buchhandlung 1928. 8vo. Full cloth but spine gone. In: "Nachrichten von der Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften zu Göttingen aus dem Jahre 1927". 4469 pp. Von Neumann's papers: pp. 1-57 pp. 245-272 a. pp. 273-291. Internally clean and fine. First printing of von Neumann's importent papers in which he gave a mathematically precise formulation of the foundation of Quantum MeChanics basing the theory on the use of Hilbert spaces."He von Neumann developed between 1927 and 1929 a new mathematical framework of the theory subsequently proved to be the most suitable formalism of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics as we use it today as well as of its extensions the relativistic quantum mechanics of partcles and the quantum theory of fields."Max Jammer "The Conceptual Development og Quantum Mechanics" pp.314-15"Von Neumann’s most famous work in theoretical physics is his axiomatization of quantum mechanics. When he began work in that field in 1927 the methods used by its founders were hard to formulate in precise mathematical terms; "operator" on "functions" were handled without much consideration of their domain or definition to their topological properties: and it was blithely assumed that such "operators" when self-adjoint could always be "diagonalized" as in th finite dimensional case at the expense of introducing "Dirac functions" as "eigenvectors." Von Neumann showed that mathematical rigor could be restored by taking as basic axioms the assumptions that the states of a physical system were poinds of a Hilbert space and that the measurable quantities were Hermitian generally unbounded operators densely efined in that space. This formalism. the practical use of which became available after von Neumann had developed the spectral theory of unbounded Hermitian operators 1929 has survived subsequent developments of quantum mechanics and is still the basisi of non relativistic quantum theory; with the introduction of the theory of distributions it has even become possible to interpret its results in a way similar to Dirac’s original intuition."DSB. hardcover

1929ref. 30227New York: The Macaulay Company. Very Good. 1929. First American Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket a good sound copy with light shelfwear only a bit of dust-soiling to the top edge one-time owner's inked initials and date on front endpaper. German novel relating the intertwined lives of the denizens of a crowded Berlin apartment house -- including a newly-rich American a jazzy couple a prostitute a half-wit a consumptive etc. -- and the cumulative effect of their collective personal turmoil on the book's protagonist who is eventually driven mad by it all. Originally published in Germany in 1926 under the title "Die Fiebernde Haus." The author 1892-1973 wrote numerous non-fiction books in addition to approximately twenty novels; he also wrote for newspapers and magazines had a substantial career as a screenwriter and following World War II became the host of a popular marriage-counseling radio program. One contemorary reviewer went on rather a long rant about how Dostoevsky if he had still been around would have done a much better job with this kind of material -- but while allowing that von Hollander was no Dostoevsky still had some praise for the novel especially the final three chapters during which the protagonist was off his rocker which made the book "worth reading but not well worth reading." .
