SCHROEDINGER, ERWIN.

Energieaustausch nach der Wellenmechanik.

Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1927. 8vo. Bound in recent full black cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In "Annalen der Physik", Vierte Folge, Band 83. Entire band 83 offered. Small library stamp to title page and library cards pasted on to front free end-papers. Otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 956-68. [Entire volume: VIII, 1224 pp. + 9 plates.].

First printing of Schroedinger's important paper which preceded the great work by von Neumann (November 1927) connecting thermodynamics and quantum mechanics. Von Neumann showed, in a paper published 1927, how generalized infinite-dimensional Euclidean spaces (function spaces) and linear operators provide the proper mathematical framework for quantum mechanics.
