Descrizione del libro

Ebenezer Cunningham was a British mathematician with an intense interest in the theory of special relativity, a subject that was just beginning to be recognised as he wrote. This thoroughly and engagingly written 1914 book was one of the first treatises in the English language to focus on special relativity.
