Description - The The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein by Albert Einstein

This volume presents Einstein's writings from the final period of his work in Switzerland. Most of the material in Volume 4 documents Einstein's search for a relativistic theory of gravitation, a search that ended in Berlin in the fall of 1915 with the completion of the general theory of relativity. Three scientific manuscripts, printed here for the first time, provide insight into Einstein's efforts to generalise his original relativity theory into a theory of gravitation. The first is a review article on the special theory of relativity. The second consists of notes that document Einstein's research on gravitation. The third manuscript contains calculations on the problem of the motion of the perihelion of Mercury. The explanation of the observed anomaly of this motion was to become one of the classical tests of general relativity. The existance of such a manuscript has not been known before now. All three of these manuscripts, along with other material in this volume, add significantly to our under-standing of the creation of general relativity.This supplementary paperback volume presents only the English translations of non-English materials and is not intended for use without
