Best known for his eponymously named thought experiment Schrödinger's cat, Erwin Schrödinger (1887-1961) was a Nobel-prize-winning theoretical physicist who was among the founders of quantum mechanics. His groundbreaking wave equation changed the face of quantum theory by showing that particles of matter have a dual nature and in some situations act like waves. Written by acclaimed science writer John Gribbin for a general audience, Simply Schrödinger is an engaging, accessible, and highly entertaining biography that requires no previous knowledge of physics to appreciate the colorful life and lasting legacy of a man who revolutionized his field and changed the way we see the world.
