that one has imagined until now; it is without doubt the greatest and deepest revolution to which natural philosophy has
been subjected since Newton. -Henri Poincare

- The Quantum Library is now in the Common Room. It is ordered from left to right: Math Ref -> History&Bio -> 290 level -> 450 level -> above 450 level. The blue book by Griffiths is at the same level as our course. The little paperback by Davies and Betts is in the middle as well. There is no sign-out policy, just take care of them and don't hold onto the books longer than you need. Please do not leave the books out!
