Prof. Albert Einstein’s latest mathematical formulae on the relation between the forces of electromagnetism and gravitation, which it is hoped will help explain nuclear forces, was published by the Princeton University Press yesterday.
The 28 mathematical formulae, which represent some 30 years of work by Prof. Einstein, comprise 14 printed pages. The pages are organized as an appendix to Prof. Einstein’s famous volume “The Meaning of Relativity.” The new edition carries a note from Prof. Einstein and several errata. The note explains a simplification in the formulae discovered by Prof. Einstein after the book went to press.
