Synopsis "Space, Time, Matter "

One of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century, German mathematician HERMANN KLAUS HUGO WEYL (1885-1955) greatly impacted theoretical physics and number theory and was the first to combine general relativity and electromagnetism. Here, in this classic text first published in German in 1918—this is a translation by HENRY L. BROS E (1890-1965) of the 1921 fourth edition—Weyl considers the role of Euclidean space in physics and the mathematics of Einstein's general theory of relativity, exploring: • foundations of affine and metrical geometry • conception of n-dimensional geometry • tensor algebra • the stationary electromagnetic field • Riemann's geometry • affinely connected manifolds • space metrics from the point of view of the Theory of Groups • relativistic geometry, kinematics, and optics • electrodynamics of moving bodies • mechanics of the principle of relativity • mass and energy • gravitational waves • concerning the interconnection of the world as a whole • and more.
