Klaas Landsman connects fundamental physics, mathematics, philosophy, and history. He explores such themes as chance, probability and the relationship between quantum mechanics and classical physics. He has written standard scientific reference works, invented a new algebra, and tackled the problem of Schrödinger’s cat head on. He has also published popular science books such as Requiem voor Newton [Requiem for Newton] (2005) and Naar alle ONwaarschijnlijkheid [In all UNlikelihood] (2018). He co-founded a movement advocating the introduction of different levels of mathematics in secondary schools.
