The Mathematics of Relativity is a comprehensive book written by George Yuri Rainich, part of the Applied Mathematics Series. The book explores the mathematical principles that underlie Einstein's theory of relativity. It covers a wide range of topics, including the geometry of space-time, the Lorentz transformation, the energy-momentum tensor, and the equations of motion for particles and fields.The book is divided into three main parts. The first part provides an introduction to the basic concepts of relativity, including the principle of relativity, the constancy of the speed of light, and the equivalence of mass and energy. The second part delves deeper into the mathematical foundations of relativity, including the geometry of space-time, the Lorentz transformation, and the energy-momentum tensor.The third and final part of the book applies the mathematical principles of relativity to a variety of physical systems, including particles, electromagnetic fields, and gravitational fields. Throughout the book, Rainich provides clear explanations of the mathematical concepts involved, making the book accessible to readers with a basic background in mathematics.Overall, The Mathematics of Relativity is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the mathematical foundations of Einstein's theory of relativity. It provides a thorough and detailed exploration of the mathematical principles involved, making it an invaluable reference for students, researchers, and professionals in the field of physics and mathematics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
