petarm: Preporucio bih svima popularnu knjigu "30 godina koje je uzdrmalo fiziku" od Gamova.

Da li je neko od clanova ovog Foruma citao "Matematicke osnove kvantne mehanike" od Nojmana? Vredi li to citati?

tomkeus: Nisam čitao, ali ono što znam o tome je da je u pitanju knjiga koja je zasnovala funkcionalnu analizu i u pitanju je knjiga koja se bavi matematikom, a ne fizikom, ali uzimajući u obzir da se meni nekako čini da si upisao pogrešan fakultet možda i ne bi bilo loše da pročitaš, pogotovo što si najveći broj pitanja postavio upravo iz oblati funkcionalne analize.

Basdevant:Why do physics? Laurent Schwartz, the man I admired most, liked the question:
what’s the use of doing mathematics? “It’s very simple,” he said,
mathematicians study spaces, negligible sets, and representable
functors. One must certainly do mathematics. Because mathematics
allows to do physics. Physics allows to make refrigerators. Refrigerators
allow to keep lobsters, and lobsters are useful for mathematicians
who can eat them and therefore be in a good mood to do spaces,
negligible sets, and representable functors. It is obviously useful to do
mathematics.
Why do physics? I’ve often thought about that question.
