Summary

Based on a famous course of lectures delivered at Columbia University by Nobel laureate H. A. Lorentz, this volume remains remarkably modern. Its outstanding discussion of general principles and experimental facts keep it vital, and 109 pages of notes offer detailed examinations of the mathematics involved. Unabridged reproduction of the 1915 edition. 9 Figures.

Author Biography

Dutch physicist Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (1853-1928) was a co-recipient of the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics. He also derived the transformation equations subsequently used by Albert Einstein to describe space and time.
