In this classic text first published in German in 1918-this is a
translation by HENRY L. BROSE (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.HERMANN KLAUS HUGO
WEYL (1885-1955)was a German mathematician who spent most of his
life working in Zurich, Switzerland. When the Nazi party began to
gain power he fled to a job at the Institute of Advanced Study in
Princeton, New Jersey where he continued to develop his
representation theory. He was one of the most influential
mathematicians of the 20th century. He greatly impacted theoretical
physics and number theory and was the first to combine general
relativity and electromagnetism
