Our understanding of the physical universe underwent a revolution
in the early twentieth century - evolving from the classical
physics of Newton, Galileo, and Maxwell to the modern physics of
relativity and quantum mechanics. The dominant figure in this
revolutionary change was Albert Einstein. In a single year, 1905,
Einstein produced breakthrough works in three areas of physics: on
the size and the effects of atoms; on the quantization of the
electromagnetic field; and on the special theory of relativity. In
1916 he produced a fourth breakthrough work, the general theory of
relativity. A Student's Guide to Einstein's Major Papers focuses on
Einstein's contributions, setting his major works into their
historical context, and then takes the reader through the details
of each paper, including the mathematics. This book helps the
reader appreciate the simplicity and insightfulness of Einstein's
ideas and how revolutionary his work was, and locate it in the
evolution of scientific thought begun by the ancient Greek natural
philosophers.
