DESCRIPTION:
"Nearly unreadable" according to torsten.kemps@planet-interkom.de. What the hell do they want to tell me!?Maybe this would have become a better book if it had been written in romanian first and had been translated to english afterwards. The intention of the authors never becomes clear in this book. Of course there some isolated nice ideas concerning the topic but this is definitely not
The motivations in this book are mainly mathematical; more precisely, they correspond to the desire of developing a probability theory in a new set-up and obtaining results analogous to the classical ones for the newly defined mathematical objects. This book concentrates on one variant, which may be described as "von Neumann algebras". (1965) also discusses "basic ideas".. This is true also for the last chapter, if one looks at its ultimate aim. For different people, the starting points of such a domain may be different. The intention of this book is to explain to a mathematician having no previous knowledge in this domain, what "noncommutative probability" is. Segal, I.E. In what concerns this question, different variants are not discussed. In the references there are some papers corresponding to other variants; we mention Gudder, S.P. So the first decision was not to concentrate on a special topic. One such variant comes from Quantum Physics. &al (1978). Also different mathematical foundations of this domain were proposed
