This 1968 edition, published by "Mir" during the height of Soviet scientific rigor, is a specialized monograph by the prominent Australian physicist Horace S. Green (1920–1999). It is particularly distinguished by a foreword from the legendary Max Born, one of the original architects of quantum theory and a Nobel laureate. Born’s endorsement underscores the book's value in reviving and clarifying the Heisenberg-Born-Jordan matrix approach, which is often overshadowed by Schrödinger’s wave mechanics in standard curricula.
Green’s work focuses on the algebraic and matrix formulation of quantum mechanics, providing a concise yet deep exploration of how physical observables are represented by operators and matrices. The text is designed to transition the reader from basic concepts to advanced applications, including the treatment of angular momentum, spin, and systems of identical particles.
A notable aspect of the book is its treatment of Green's parastatistics (or para-statistics), an area where Horace Green made his most significant historical contribution. He introduces the mathematical apparatus for particles that do not strictly follow Bose-Einstein or Fermi-Dirac statistics, providing a rigorous algebraic foundation for these theoretical possibilities.
The 1968 Russian translation is valued for its precise terminology and the high quality of scientific editing characteristic of the "Mir" physics series. Despite its softcover format, which was common for the "Scientific-Technical Library" editions of the time, the book remains a sought-after resource for theoretical physicists and historians of science interested in the mathematical elegance of matrix methods and the evolution of quantum statistics.
