Quantum Mechanics

1.1 Classical physics

No background in physics is really needed to understand the concept of

mathematical quantization, which may be taken as nothing more than

a formal analogy between sets and Hilbert spaces. However, knowledge

of some physics adds a layer of meaning to the mathematics which can

be quite illuminating. It can also help when one is unsure of the best

way to translate some set theoretic construction into the Hilbert space

setting.
