Feynman's Thesis: A New Approach to Quantum Theory

by Laurie M. Brown, Richard P. Feynman, Richard Feynman

Book Overview

Richard Feynman's never previously published doctoral thesis formed the heart of much of his brilliant and profound work in theoretical physics. Entitled "The Principle of Least Action in Quantum Mechanics," its original motive was to quantize the classical action-at-a-distance electrodynamics. Because that theory adopted an overall space-time viewpoint, the classical Hamiltonian approach used in the conventional formulations of quantum theory...

Feynman's Thesis

I really like that Feynman has finally had his thesis published ! It is a good primer for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics and QFT
