Description

Book Synopsis
The work on the foundations of Quantum Mechanics in the 1920s and 1930s provided some of the motivation for the study of differential operators in Hilbert space with particular emphasis on self-adjoint operators and their spectrum. Since then the topic has developed in several directions. This book summarizes some of these directions.
