#MaxBorn also made contributions to solid-state physics and optics and supervised the work of a number of notable physicists in the 1920s and 1930s.

In 1921, the year he became Professor at Göttingen, he reformulated the First Law of #Thermodynamics.

Beginning in 1926, #Born collaborated with #Pauli and #Heisenberg, who was a student of Born's, on quantum mechanics (the term "quantum mechanics" is due to Born).

He recognised Heisenberg's approach to #QM as being matrix algebra.

#Born wrote many textbooks and monographs, mostly for students or experts in the subjects but some are excellent popular accounts of #science.

His publication list includes at least 360 items.
