"Relativity" explores the fundamental principles governing the behavior of space, time, and electromagnetism. Authored by Arthur William Conway, this work delves into concepts such as the Principle of Relativity, D’Alembert’s Principle, and the equations of motion, providing a detailed examination of moving systems and their interactions with electric and magnetic forces.
Conway’s investigation covers a range of topics, including four-vectors, vector operators, scalar and vector potentials, and orthogonal transformations. The book provides insights into electrostatic and electrodynamical phenomena, offering a comprehensive view of electromagnetic equations and their implications. It also addresses concepts such as kinetic energy, inner and vector products, and the role of the speed of light in defining these relationships.
Originally published in the early 20th century, "Relativity" remains relevant for physicists, historians of science, and anyone interested in the theoretical foundations of modern physics and the ongoing quest to understand the universe.
