Focused on Einstein's quest for a five-dimensional unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism, the analysis provides unique insights into his mathematical skills, thinking, and modus operandi. This academic exploration also investigates the role of mathematics in Einstein’s theorizing with a special focus on projective geometry and delta functions.Einstein Studies,2381-5841 ;17PhysicsHistoryPhysicsGeneral relativity (Physics)GravitationHistory of Physics and AstronomyConceptual Development in PhysicsGeneral RelativityGravitational PhysicsPhysicsHistory.Physics.General relativity (Physics).Gravitation.History of Physics and Astronomy.Conceptual Development in Physics.General Relativity.Gravitational Physics.530.142Schütz Tobias1736169MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910847574203321Einstein at Work on Unified Field Theory4156082UNINA
