Excerpt from The Theory of General Relativity and Gravitation
Some of my readers will miss, perhaps, in this volume the enthusiastic tone which usually permeates the books and pamphlets that have been written on the subject (with a notable exception of Einstein's own writings). Yet the author is the last man to be blind to the admirable boldness and the severe architectonic beauty of Einstein's theory. But it has seemed that beauties of such a kind are rather enhanced than obscured by the adoption of a sober tone and an apparently cold form of presentation.

Excerpt from The Theory of General Relativity and Gravitation
At the Conference on Recent Advances in Physics held in the Physics Laboratory of the University of Toronto from January 5 to 26, 1921, a course on Einstein's Relativity and Gravitation Theory, consisting of fifteen lectures and two colloquia, was delivered by the author. The first six of these lectures were devoted to what is known as Special Relativity, and the remaining ones to Einstein's General Relativity and Gravitation Theory and to relativistic Electromagnetism. In view of the time limitations only the essentials of these theories were dealt with, due attention, however, being given to the critically conceptual side of the subject. The University was kind enough to undertake the publication of that part of the course which dealt with general relativistic questions, on the express understanding that my prospective readers should be assumed to be already familiar with the special theory of relativity. In this connection it was suggested by Prof. McLennan that those unacquainted with the older theory should be referred to my book of 1914 (The Theory of Relativity, Macmillan, London) and that it would therefore be desirable to make the present volume, as much as possible, uniform in exposition and style with that work. With such requirements in view this little book was shaped, only a few pages at the beginning having been used in recalling the essentials of the special relativity theory.
The treatment, as compared with the Toronto lectures, has been made somewhat more systematic and the subject matter has, here and there, been considerably extended. In this respect the author has been partly influenced by a larger course on Relativity, Gravitation and Electromagnetism delivered, in the time of writing, during the last Summer Quarter at the University of Chicago. Such is especially the case with Chapter III in which care has been taken to give the readers a systematic exposition of the calculus of generally covariant beings called Tensors. The exposition follows here mainly upon Einstein's own presentation of the subject, with the difference, however, that due emphasis has been laid upon the distinction between metrical and nonmetrical properties of tensors.

The Theory of General Relativity and Gravitation (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the revolutionary theory of general relativity and gravitation, developed by Albert Einstein. It delves into the foundations of the theory, building upon the author's previous work on special relativity. The book examines the fundamental concepts of space-time, minimal lines, geodesics, and the implications of Einstein's equivalence hypothesis. The author uses a clear and systematic approach to guide readers through the complex mathematical concepts, including tensor algebra and analysis. The text delves into the physical implications of Einstein's theory, exploring the nature of gravity as a consequence of the curvature of space-time and the connection between gravity, optics, and the motion of celestial bodies. It examines the influence of gravitation on light propagation, offering explanations for phenomena such as the bending of light rays and the redshift of light. This book offers a profound exploration of Einstein's groundbreaking theories, revealing how they fundamentally changed our understanding of the universe. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
