A major achievement in quantum physics, where Schrodinger mathematically treats quantum mechanical systems as wave phenomena and describes the time-evolution of a system's wave function. Here he presents it in the first four papers, or one article in four parts, and a fifth, in which he compares matrix mechanics to his own wave mechanics. These papers had a profound effect, resulting in the emergence of wave mechanics. This would serve as the basis for Schrodinger contributions to the field, with which he would go on to win the Nobel prize in Physics in 1933. (Inventory #: 140940030)
