SIGNED BY PAUL DIRAC: "To dear Abe/ in memory of a happy year/ Paul Dirac/ May 1965." Abe was Abraham Gelbart. Dirac probably met the mathematician Abraham (Abe) Gelbart for the first time during the 1947-48 year that Dirac spent at the Institute for Advanced Study. Gelbart made a short (3-minute) home movie during that year showing Dirac, Einstein, Gödel, Weyl and others, with a brief appearance at the very end of Gelbart s wife and their young twin sons. In 1958 Gelbart moved from Syracuse University to Yeshiva where he became Director of Mathematics. He was the founding dean of the Belfer Graduate School of Science at Yeshiva, where Dirac delivered these lectures. Paul Dirac shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1933 with Erwin Schrödinger "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory." Belfer Graduate School of Science Monographs Series.
