"In this introductory volume we try to develop as thoroughly as possible a few, but not all, of the new concepts introduced in quantum mechanics. Essentially, we concern ourselves with the many aspects of the Schrodinger equation (without spin) and its applications. In presenting our material we shall make rather extensive use of the concept of the wave packet. The wave packet is by no means of basic importance, but it serves as a useful scaffolding by means of which quantum mechanics may be built." .

"The abacus (plural abaci or abacuses) , also called a counting frame, is a calculating tool that was in use in Europe, China and Russia, centuries before the adoption of the written Hindu–Arabic numeral system. The exact origin of the abacus is still unknown. Today, abacuses are often constructed as a bamboo frame with beads sliding on wires, but originally they were beans or stones moved in grooves in sand or on tablets of wood, stone, or metal.

"In mathematics, the irrational numbers are all the real numbers which are not rational numbers, the latter being the numbers constructed from ratios (or fractions) of integers. When the ratio of lengths of two line segments is an irrational number, the line segments are also described as being incommensurable, meaning that they share no "measure" in common, that is, there is no length ("the measure") , no matter how short, that could be used to express the lengths of both of the two given segments as integer multiples of itself. Among irrational numbers are the ratio p of a circle's circumference to its diameter, Euler's number e, the golden… Read More
