Synopsis
Excerpt from The Theory of Relativity
The volume called Higher Mathematics, the third edition of which was published in 1900, contained eleven chapters by eleven authors, each chapter being independent of the others, but all supposing the reader to have at least a mathematical training equivalent to that given in classical and engineering colleges. The publication of the volume was discontinued in 1906, and the chapters have since been issued in separate articles or appendices which either amplify the former presentation or record recent advances. This plan of publication was arranged in order to meet the demand of teachers and the convenience of classes, and it was also thought that is would prove advantageous to readers in special lines of mathematical literature.
It is the intention of the publishers and editors to add other monographs to the series from time to time, if the demand seems to warrant it. Among the topics which are under consideration are those of elliptic functions, the theory of numbers, the group theory, the calculus of variations, and non-Euclidean geometry; possibly also monographs on branches of astronomy, mechanics, and mathematical physics may be included. It is the hope of the editors that this Series of Monographs may tend to promote mathematical study and research over a wider field than that which the former volume has occupied.
This number of the series is issued by reason of the widely general contemporary interest in the subject of relativity on the part both of mathematicians and physicists, and with the hope that it may stimulate further research and progress in this important line of inquiry.

The Theory of Relativity (Classic Reprint)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Forgotten Books, London, Royaume-Uni
Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the foundations of physics, the very concepts on which it has been built, and how our understanding of those foundations has evolved over time. Specifically, it discusses a new theory of relativity, whose postulates are the results of experiments and observations which have not been satisfactorily explained by previous theories. The book is written from the point of view of the usefulness of this new theory in the development of physical science, particularly its implications for understanding length and time, the transformation of coordinates, mass and energy, and experimental verification of the theory. The author believes that this new theory of relativity has the potential to improve our ability to measure and study the world around us. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440092169_0
