Synopsis

Reichenbach sets out a clear exposition of how non-Euclidean geometries reshaped thinking across mathematics and physical science. The discussion ranges from the foundations of geometry to the theory of time, before turning to Einstein’s theory of relativity and its wider consequences.

With its emphasis on rigorous explanation and key conceptual developments, it is suited to readers interested in science, mathematics and engineering.
