Physics 6 was given by Frank this year but Van Vleck has given it in the past. Frank sometimes over emphasized the theoretical material too much at the expense of the practical side of the subject. Van Vleck is very good once you get used...
However, 3 was this year under Zariski, who is certainly competent, but some students find his accent bothersome (this hardly would appear a reason for avoiding his course). Van Vleck (4), is hard to follow, and before taking this course it is good to have had physics. 6 is very abstract, and requires a good deal of maturity in handling mathematical concepts. But under MacLane, it is excellent, though difficult...
John H. Van Vleck for investigations in quantum mechanics; G. Wallace Woodworth to investigate the sources of Bach's styles in the music of the seventeenth century...
...Vleck, the well-known physicist, graduated from Wisconsin in 1920, and took his Masters' and Doctor's degrees here. After serving an instructorship here, he taught at the University of Minnesota, Leland Stanford, and finally at Wisconsin. He has done research work on the quantum theory and is the author of many scientific pamphlets. His duties next year will be divided between mathematics, quantum mathematics, and his research work...
