The history of quantum theory is a maze of conceptual problems, through which Olivier Darrigol provides a lucid and learned guide, tracking the role of formal analogies between classical and quantum theory. From Plancks first introduction of the quantum of action to Diracs formulation of quantum mechanics, Darrigol illuminates not only the history of quantum theory but also the role of analogies in scientific thinking and theory change.Unlike previous works, which have tended to focus on qualitative, global arguments, Darrigols study follows the lines of mathematical reasoning and symbolizing and so is able to show the motivations of early quantum theorists more precisely--and provocatively--than ever before. Erudite and original, From c-Numbers to q-Numbers sets a new standard as a philosophically perceptive and mathematically precise history of quantum mechanics. For years to come it will influence historical and philosophical discussions of twentieth-century physics.
