Einstein, Albert; Hentschel, Ann; Hentschel, Klaus
The Collected Papers of Albert Einstein: Volume 8: The Berlin Years: Correspondence 1914-1918
Princeton N.J.: Princeton University Press 1998. This volume opens in spring 1914 when Einstein takes up a research professorship at the Prussian Academy of Sciences in Berlin and closes with the collapse of the German Empire four and one-half years later. A good portion of the documentation which comprises more than 675 letters has only recently been discovered by the editors. The letters touch on all aspects of Einstein's activities and shed new light on his inner life including the breakup of Einstein's first marriage and the divorce are presented here for the first time in all their complexity. New material shows Einstein maintaining a strong sense of moral urgency throughout the war. The scientific correspondence documents Einstein's struggle to find satisfactory field equations for his new gravitational theory--the general theory of relativity--and his continued discussion with leading physicists and mathematicians about the implications and further development of the theory. 714 pgs. Illustrated. Minimal shelfwear. First Edition. Soft Cover. Fine. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Princeton University Press Paperback

According to the preface “the book is a simple chat between you and us.

EINSTEIN, Albert, & Leopold Infeld
The Gravitational Equations and the Problem of Motion. II.
Princeton: Princeton University Press 1940. Elucidating the Einstein-Infeld-Hoffman equations First edition offprint issue of Einstein's last major contribution to the general theory of relativity. It formed part of his mathematical investigations into the structure of the theory which he spent the latter part of his life refining. "During the development of the general theory Einstein had intended to hold fast to the conservation of energy and momentum in the usual special relativistic sense as far as possible. At the same time he was driven by other considerations toward the idea that the laws should be generally covariant. These two desires proved mutually incompatible. The problem of the equation of motion of bodies is the following. The 1916 theory had a classical structure in the sense that there were both field equations the curvature of space-time is determined by the mass and motion of bodies in space-time and equation of motion of bodies the world line of small mass is a geodesic. Einstein showed that if matter is represented by a point singularity of the metric field these singularities are located on world lines that are geodesics of space time provided its metric satisfies the equation of general relativity" DSB IV p. 329. The first part of the paper was published in 1938. Large octavo pp. 10. Original wrappers wire-stitched as issued front cover printed in black. Wrappers gently toned: a near-fine copy.

It is the work done with Leopold Indfeld and Banesh Hoffmann on the N-body problem of motion. In these papers the gravitational field is no longer treated as external. Instead it and the motion of its singular sources are treated simultaneously. A new approximation scheme is introduced in which the fields are no longer necessarily weak but in which the source velocities are small compared with the light velocity. These equations are widely used in analyses of planetary orbits in the solar system."Pais "Subtle is the Lord" pp. 290-91.Weil: 202 a. 205 both with an asterix denoting a major paper. - Boni: 236 a. 236.1. </em> hardcover

Pp. 65-100 and pp. 455-464. Both clean and fine. This copy has belonged to Abraham Pais 1918-2000 - the famous Einstein scholar theoretical physicist and Einsteins collegue at Princeton - and having his name on top of both frontwrappers "A Pais". <br/><br/><em>First editions in the scarce offprint versions of Einstein's last and highly important contributions to General relativity and in which is shown that the equation of motion follows directly from the field equation that defined the geometry."Einstein's last importent contribution to general relativity deals again with the problem of motion. It is the work done with Leopold Infeld and Banash Hoffmann on the N-body problem of motion. In these papers the gravitational field is no longer treated as external. Instead it and the motion of its singular sources are treated simultaneously. Anew approximationscheme is introduced in which the fields are no longer necessarily weak but in which the source velocities are small compared with the light velocity . The equations obtained have found use in situations where Newtonian interaction must be included. 'These equations are widely used in analyses of planetary orbits in the solarsystem. For example the Cal Tech Jet Propulsion Laboratory uses them in modified form to calculate ephmerides for high-precision tracking of planets and spacecraft."Pais "Subtle is the Lord" p. 290-91."The problem of the equation of motion of bodies is the following. The 1916 theory had a classical structure in the sense that there were both field equations the curvature of space-time is determined by the mass and motion of bodies in space-time and equations of motion of bodies the world line of small mass is a geodesic. Are these two statements really separate If the field equations were linear they indeed would be. They are not linear however and Einstein showed in the papers offered that if matter is represented by a point singularity of the metric field these singularities are located on world lines that are geodesics of space-time provided its metric satisfies the equation of general relativity."DSB.Weil: 202 a. 295 both with an asterix denoting a major paper. - Boni: 236 a. 236.1. </em> unknown
