Abstract

Although most people associate the correspondence principle with quantum mechanics, it has been used more generally for many years in the development of theories in essentially all branches of physics. Based upon simple assumptions which would seem to be necessary for any exact science, a more precise statement of the generalized correspondence principle is provided, with due regard to the accuracy of theories. Term correspondence is presented as a corollary to the principle. Evidently, the principle has as strong a basis as other scientific theories. Its value in theory development as well as in furthering the understanding of the history of science is discussed.
