Vector Analysis and the Theory of Relativity
by Francis Dominic Murnaghan - Johns Hopkins press
This monograph is the outcome of lectures delivered to the graduate department of mathematics of The Johns Hopkins University. Considerations of space have made it somewhat condensed in form, but the mode of presentation is sufficiently novel.
