| Abstract: |
In 1965, Richard Feynman and his former graduate student Albert Hibbs published a textbook on Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals. This text - based on Feynman's teaching of graduate-level quantum mechanics courses at CalTech - is full of remarkable insight and excruciating errors. The errors have been corrected through an emended edition. This article investigates the source of those errors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
