Relativity, symmetry and the structure of quantum theory. I, Galilean quantum theory /

The history of how quantum mechanics was developed is a fascinating one and underlies the focus of this book; namely, given the rules that the founders of quantum mechanics developed, is it possible to find principles that lead to the structure of quantum mechanics as it was historically formulated?...
