Heinrich Hertz's mechanics
a model for Werner Heisenberg's april 1925 paper on the anomalous zeeman effect
Klaus Hentschel
pp. 183-223
In this paper, I will show that Heisenberg's last paper before his invention of matrix mechanics in the summer of 19251 contains striking parallels to Hertz's Mechanics. Although other philosophical influences on the young Heisenberg, as well as his physics and mathematics background, have already been examined extensively,2 this particular Hertzian strand in Heisenberg's writings at that specific time has not been pointed out in the pertinent secondary literature.3
