Abstract

When Albert Einstein published his first works on the Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, Mexico did not yet have scientific institutions dedicated to physics research, nor did it have schools for educating physicists. Consequently, the spread of both General Relativity and Special Relativity began in 1921 as a result of the work and talent of various Mexican physics and mathematics professors who taught courses at the Escuela Nacional de Ingenieros and the Escuela Nacional de Altos Estudios , both part of the Universidad Nacional de México as founded in 1910
