Originally done in 1930, this is a lithographic reprint of the third edition done in 1949. There is some "bubbling" to the front cover of the cloth. Jacket is chipped at head and tail of spine. Name on front paste-down, physicist Hugh Guthrie Flynn. Flynn was an internationally recognized expert on ultrasonic waves' violent effects on air bubbles in liquids. "The 3rd edition has been rewritten with the use of the notation of bra and ket vectors. This notation allows for a more direct connexion to be made between the formalism in terms of the abstract quantities corresponding to states and observables and the formalism in terms of representatives - in fact the two formalisms become welded into a single comprehensive scheme. With the help of this notation several of the deductions in the book take a simpler and neater form." - from the preface. Dirac shared the Nobel Prize with Schrödinger in 1933 "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory
