Abstract
RECENT articles in this journal by Mr. R. H. PC Fowler, Prof. M. Born, and Dr. P. Jordan have dealt with the relation between Schrodinger's wave mechanics and the quantum theory, but it is admitted that they scarcely express the views of Schrodinger himself or those of his predecessor, L. de Broglie. The object of the present article is to give an account of the researches of these two authors from the viewpoint of classical mechanics and electrodynamics, to which they are closely related, both in subject-matter and method. A brief bibliography of their papers, as well as a few by other writers on the same subject, is appended, to which the reader is referred for details, for an outline only of the line of thought can be given in the present article.
