ABSTRACT

These lectures will cover all of physics. Since we believe that the behavior of systems of many particles can be understood in terms of the interactions of a small number of particles, we shall be concerned primarily with the latter. Bearing in mind that the present theories need modifications or revision to account for observed phenomena, we shall want to consider the foundation of quantum mechanics in their most general form. This is so we can get some idea of the minimum assumptions (and their character) which we use to formulate those parts of the theory we use in dealing with the new phenomena of the strange particles.
