Book Synopsis
One of his most interesting ideas, lying between mathematics and physics, is his sixth problem: To find a few physical axioms which, similar to the axioms of geometry, can describe a theory for a class of physical events that is as large as possible.
Trade Review
` ...impressive monograph...presents some of the newest trends in the mathematical theory of structures arising in quantum mechanics. The book is well written, with special attention paid to mathematical accuracy. The book will be useful for mathematicians, but also for physicists and logicians, as well as for the reader interested in fuzzy set theory and quantum computing. Throughout the text important facts and concepts are illustrated by exercises.
