This volume covers one of the most thrilling two-year periods in twentieth-century physics, as matrix mechanics- developed chiefly by W. Heisenberg, M. Born, and P.

The almost one hundred writings by Einstein, of which a third have never been published, and the more than thirteen hundred letters show Einstein's immense productivity and hectic pace of life.
