From the Analogues between Mechanics and Optics to Schrödinger Wave Mechanics

Based on the duality of wave and particle, we report the whole process that Schrodinger founded his wave mechanics. We introduce Schrodinger's interesting and deep method of deriving wave equation to quantum mechanics teaching.
