Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

The first edition of this work appeared in 1930, and its originality won it immediate recognition as a classic of modern physical theory. The fourth edition has been bought out to meet a continued demand. Some improvements have been made, the main one being the complete rewriting of the chapter on quantum electrodymanics, to bring in electron-pair creation. This makes it suitable as an introduction to recent works on quantum field theories.

Includes index.

The principle of superposition -- Dynamical variables and observables -- Representations -- The quantum conditions -- The equation of motion -- Elementary applications -- Perturbation theory -- Collision problems -- Systems containing several similar particles -- Theory of radiation -- Relativistic theory of the electron -- Quantum electrodynamics.
