New Foundations for Physical Geometry: The Theory of Linear Structures
Oxford, England: Oxford University Press (2014)
Abstract
Tim Maudlin sets out a completely new method for describing the geometrical structure of spaces, and thus a better mathematical tool for describing and understanding space-time. He presents a historical review of the development of geometry and topology, and then his original Theory of Linear StructuresAuthor's Profile
