In this article Prof. Ludwig Faddeev sketches a rather formal framework into which Quantum Mechanics satisfactorily fits. He shows that both Classical and Quantum Mechanics can be realized in terms of the same objects. Quantum Mechanics can be understood as a deformation of Classical Mechanics, the mathematical deformation parameter being Planck's constant. (Red.)
