Download or read book Probability and Schr”dinger's Mechanics written by David B. Cook and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses some of the problems of interpreting Schr”dinger's mechanics ? the most complete and explicit theory falling under the umbrella of ?quantum theory?. The outlook is materialist (?realist?) and stresses the development of Schr”dinger's mechanics from classical theories and its close connections with (particularly) the Hamilton?Jacobi theory. Emphasis is placed on the concepts and use of the modern objective (measure-theoretic) probability theory. The work is free from any mention of the bearing of Schr”dinger's mechanics on God, his alleged mind or, indeed, minds at all. The author has taken the na‹ve view that this mechanics is about the structure and dynamics of atomic and sub-atomic systems since he has been unable to trace any references to minds, consciousness or measurements in the foundations of the theory.
