Ann. Phys., 4. Folge, 32+33. - Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1910, 8°, pp. 749-776, 2 Fig.; pp.649-689, 8 Fig., 2 orig. Broschuren; mit Aufdruck "Überreicht vom Verfasser". 2 Rare Offprints! First edition of the two-part work in which Sommerfeld attempts to circumvent the matrix calculus and extend the vector operations familiar from electrodynamics to four dimensions in such a way that the resulting electrodynamics contains the conventional one for three-dimensional space. In the present work he deals with the algebraic relationships of space-time vectors. "In July, 1905, Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) proposed two laws of gravitational attraction compatible with the principle of relativity and all astronomical observations explained by Newton's law. Two years later, in the fall of 1907, Albert Einstein (1879-1955) began to investigate the consequences of the principle of equivalence for the behavior of light rays in a gravitational field. The following year, Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909), Einstein's former mathematics instructor, borrowed Poincaré's notion of a four-dimensional vector space for his new matrix calculus, in which he expressed a novel theory of the electrodynamics of moving media, a spacetime mechanics, and two laws of gravitational attraction. Following another two-year hiatus, Arnold Sommerfeld (1868-1951) characterized the relationship between the laws proposed by Poincaré and Minkowski, calling for this purpose both on spacetime diagrams and a new 4-vector formalism." The Genesis of General Relativity. Scott Walter, Breaking in the 4-Vectors: The Four-Dimensional Movement in Gravitation, 1905-1910; BSPS,volume 250 Arnold Johannes Wilhelm Sommerfeld (1868-1951) pioneered developments in atomic and quantum physics, and also educated and mentored many students for the new era of theoretical physics. He served as doctoral supervisor and postdoc supervisor to seven Nobel Prize winners and supervised at least 30 other famous physicists and chemists. He introduced the second quantum number, azimuthal quantum number, and the third quantum number, magnetic quantum number[citation needed]. He also introduced the fine-structure constant and pioneered X-ray wave theory. Seller Inventory # 11221
