Preface
In this third volume of A Course in Mathematical Physics I have attempted
not simply to introduce axioms and derive quantum mechanics from them,
butalso toprogress to relevant applications. Reading the axiomatic litera-
ture often gives one the impression that it largely Consists of making refined
axioms, thereby freeing physics from any trace of down-to-earth residue and
cutting it off from simpler ways of thinking. The goal pursued here, however,
is e up with concrete results that can pared with experimental
facts. Everything else should be regarded only as a side issue, and has been
chosen for pragmatic reasons. It is precisely with thi
