More about the book
The book delves into the development of Einstein's field equations of gravitation, pivotal to his general theory of relativity. It features an introductory essay that contextualizes four influential papers presented to the Prussian Academy of Sciences in November 1915, which address Mercury's perihelion anomaly. Through critical excerpts from various sources, it traces Einstein's intellectual journey, highlighting significant collaborations, particularly with mathematician Marcel Grossmann and confidant Michele Besso. This volume offers an in-depth exploration of the interplay between physics and mathematics in Einstein's groundbreaking work.
