Abstract
§ 1. Introduction. The algebra of quantum mechanics is characterized by the fact that the variables p, q obey all the laws of ordinary algebra except that multiplication is non-commutative and instead there exists a relation of the formwhere c is a real or complex scalar constant and is thus commutative with both p and q.Keywords
