Introduce the Algebra of Observables in classical mechanics and the transition to quantum mechanics through the principle of least action and Hamiltonian Mechanics .
Designing a course on Quantum Mechanics for mathematics students involves bridging the gap between rigorous mathematical frameworks and physical principles. For mathematicians, the most natural entry point is through and Functional Analysis , treating quantum states as vectors in a Hilbert space and physical quantities as self-adjoint operators.
