. (One of the great mathematics books written in the last twenty years. “The reader of the book should not expect proofs of theorems. This is much more a tapestry of beautiful mathematics and physics which contains material to intrigue readers ...” (Vaughan Jones). “... a long discourse or letter to friends” (Segal, I.E.: in a review. Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 33, 459–465 (1996). The author was not amused). The serious student will get much help from the next book)

3. Segal, I.E.: Postulates for general quantum mechanics. Ann. of Math. 48, 930–948 (1947) (The founding paper on the subject of this chapter)
4. Farmelo, G.: The Strangest Man. The Hidden Life of Paul Dirac. Quantum Genius. Faber and Faber, London (2009) (A biography which not only gives a fascinating picture of the person of Dirac, but also of the environment in which quantum theory emerged and in which Dirac was one of the main actors)
