Four concise, brilliant lectures on mathematical methods by the Nobel Laureate and quantum pioneer begin with an introduction to visualizing quantum theory through the use of classical mechanics. The remaining lectures build on that idea, examining the possibility of building a relativistic quantum theory on curved surfaces or flat surfaces.
Reprint of Volume 2 in the Belfer Graduate School of Science Monographs Series, Yeshiva University, New York, 1964.
