The first part of the book summarizes classical electrodynamics and the Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics, the two elements of classical physics which are crucial for understanding the classical to quantum transition. The second part loosely traces the historical development of the classical to quantum transition, starting with Einstein's 1916 derivation of the Planck radiation law, continuing with the Ladenburg-Kramers-Born-Heisenberg dispersion theory and ending with Heisenberg's magical 1925 paper which established quantum mechanics. The purpose of the book is partly historical, partly philosophical, but mainly pedagogical. It will appeal to a wide audience, from undergraduate students, for whom it can serve as a preparatory or supplementary text to standard textbooks, to physicists and historians interested in the historical development of science. 001472215 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 1, 2023). 001472215 650_0 $$aQuantum theory. 001472215 650_0 $$aQuantum theory$$xHistory. 001472215 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001472215 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z3031373723$$z9783031373725$$w(OCoLC)1381294141 001472215 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in physics,$$x2191-5431 001472215 852__ $$bebk 001472215 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-37373-2$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001472215 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1472215$$pGLOBAL_SET 001472215 980__ $$aBIB 001472215 980__ $$aEBOOK 001472215 982__ $$aEbook 001472215 983__ $$aOnline 001472215 994__ $$a92$$bISE
