Title: Unbounded Operators and Their Importance in the Foundation of Quantum Mechanics.
Abstract: We will look into spectral theorems for bounded and unbounded self adjoint
operators on Hilbert Spaces. The results for unbounded operators were
developed to meet the needs of a rigorous formulation of quantum mechanics.
So we'll also take a look at the foundation of quantum mechanics. You are
recommended to attend if you're interested in quantum mechanics but have
always wondered at the logical inconsistency of the usual presentation
given in physics texts.
