The famous equation that bears Erwin Schrödinger's name encapsulates
his profound contributions to quantum mechanics using wave mechanics.
This third, augmented edition of his papers on the topic contains the
six original, famous papers in which Schrödinger created and developed
the subject of wave mechanics as published in the original edition. As
the author points out, at the time each paper was written the results
of the later papers were largely unknown to him. This edition also
contains three papers that were written shortly after the original
edition was published and four lectures delivered by Schrödinger at the
Royal Institution in London in 1928. The papers and lectures in this
volume were revised by the author and translated into English, and
afford the reader a striking and valuable insight into how wave
mechanics developed.
