Has anybody ever come across a biography of the author Albert Messiah, of "Quantum Mechanics" reknown. His textbook is still being widely used (after half a century of its first appearance), but I wonder how many actually know some interesting thing about him :rolleyes: . I would be grateful if someone could direct me to one which is available online.

Cheers.

nitin, did found anything?
 
Probably not, as he asked 6 years ago,
 
I know, if he had just asked it wouldn't make sense to ask him that.
 
He hasn't been a member for 3 years.
