Short History
The theory of unbounded operators was stimulated by attempts in the late 1920s to put quantum mechanics on a rigorous mathematical foundation. The systematic development of the theory is due to John von Neumann and Marshall Stone. The technique of using the graph to analyze unbounded operators was introduced by von Neumann in.

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or history:
“Once it chanced that I stood in the very abutment of a rainbow’s arch, which filled the lower stratum of the atmosphere, tinging the grass and leaves around, and dazzling me as if I looked through colored crystal. It was a lake of rainbow light, in which, for a short while, I lived like a dolphin. If it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and my life.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
