""Optical Geometry of Motion: A New View of the Theory of Relativity"" is a book written by Alfred A. Robb in 1911. The book provides a detailed analysis of the theory of relativity, which was newly introduced at the time. It explains the concept of optical geometry and its relationship with the theory of relativity. The author explores the mathematical and physical principles behind the theory and presents it in a clear and concise manner. The book also includes a number of illustrations and diagrams to aid in the understanding of the concepts. Overall, ""Optical Geometry of Motion"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the theory of relativity and its applications in modern physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Rese�a del editor

He however believes that, in the first presentment of a theory, there are considerable advantages in stating explicitly only its principal features. To cover np a general standpoint under a mass of detail is to run the risk of obscuring it altogether. There is always the danger that the reader may not be able to see the wood for the trees a danger which is becoming very real in much modern mathematics. The substance of the following essay was originally intended by the writer to form a chapter of a book of semi-philosophical character upon which he is engaged. In view, however, of the amount of attention which the subject of Relativity is at present attracting, it seemed to him that this portion might prove of sufficient interest to warrant its separate publication. From the standpoint of the pure mathematician Geometry is a branch of formal logic, but there are more aspects of things than one, and the geometrician has but to look at the name of his science to be reminded that it had its origin in a definite physical problem. That problem in an extended form still retains its interest. Cambridge, May 137, 1911. A. A. ROBB.
