Product Description
Great 20th-century mathematician’s classic work on material necessary for mathematical grasp of theory of relativity. Thorough treatment of introductory theories provides basics for discussion of fundamental quadratic form and absolute differential calculus. Final section deals with physical applications. 1926 ed.

5-0 out of 5 stars Original Paper
This book constitutes the history of Absolute Differential Calculus, born from the cooperation from Albert Einstein and Tullio Levi Civita. It also keeps an account on what Gregorio Ricci Curbastro had previously estabilished on Tensors. I think it's a wonderful occasion, to study from the original papers of the authors of a theory, though they are generally somehow obscure, with respect to textbooks. This is definitely a great book.

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent book governing the mathematical beasts; tensors
A must have for all physics majors.Excellent outside source for mechanics, especially upper-division.

4-0 out of 5 stars A book that returns you to the unbounded rigor of calculus
Not quite a page-turner, but this book presents good applications oftensor math.Sometimes difficult to follow, the book omits many"assumed" steps.However, a fine escape into the world ofabsolute differential calculus. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description

A chief requirement in the study of relativity is absolute differential calculus, which Einstein used to mathematically develop his ideas. This classic was written by a founder in the field, offering a clear, detailed exposition. It examines introductory theories, the fundamental quadratic form and the absolute differential calculus, and physical applications. 1926 edition.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Work on Tensors and Relativity
Although it is a bit dated, this is a wonderful book by the one of the main instigators of Tensor Calculus. I would like to stress however as others have noted that it is quite difficult material, but that is the case with most forms of upper division mathematics. The coverage of Classical mechanics is a bit sparse and nothing of electrodynamics is considered since the author himself states that there is much material that already exploits the usage of Tensor analysis in electromagnetism. Nevertheless the treatment of General Relativity is quite complete. For those interested in Tensors, this is one of the main books to have. Those with knowledge of Multivariate calculus and linear algebra should be able to fly through the introductory chapters. After this book, I suggest Eisenhart and Einstein's paper on the General theory as ways to venture the wonderful world of tensors.

Interestingly enough I have also heard that Tensors are being superseded by "functors." But, as is the case of physics and mathematics, one cannot plunge into the abyss of contemporary knowledge without some notions from the past.

4-0 out of 5 stars Book perfect. Shipment very late.
The book was absolutely perfect. The shipment was very late. I ordered it on june 3rd and I received it on july 6th. The expected delivery date was june20-25 . It was not possible to track the shipment. ... Read more
