Schroedinger discovery of wave mechanics
Abstract
Description
Schroedinger's great discovery of wave mechanics in 1926 - his annus mirabilis - is discussed in detail. Beside the six most important papers that appeared during the first half of 1926, letters between Schroedinger and leading physicists at this time are main sources of this account.
