Later orange cloth gilt-stamped spine title; spine faded. Very good. TWO PAPERS FROM THE TWO GIANTS OF 20TH CENTURY PHYSICS AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ONE COLLECTED VOLUME. Einstein's "Generalized Theory of Gravitation" is considered the last principal work issued by the 20th Century's premiere scientist. Schilpp-Shields. <br /><br /> Einstein: "A new presentation. . . which constitutes a certain progress in clarity as compared with previous presentations." from the Introduction. Feynman: "At first Feynman's fundamental article RMP 1948 did not arouse much interest among theoretical physicists who were not familiar with Feynman's new approach to doing quantum mechanics. As Feynman recalled: 'At the Shelter Island Conference. . . they asked me if I would explain my path-integral method for doing quantum mechanics so I did. I must have been preparing the manuscript for my paper RMP 1948 so that everything was organized and I explained it. It's hard to pay attention to some new idea and they didn't pay much attention to it.' However nowadays Feynman's RMP 1948 paper is one of the most well-known and widely cited papers; it is one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics." Mehra. <br /><br /> "It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. . . This paper will describe what is essentially a third formulation of non-relativistic quantum theory. This formulation was suggested by some of Paul Dirac's remarks concerning the relation of classical action to quantum mechanics. A probability amplitude is associated with an entire motion of a particle as a function of time rather than simply with a position of the particle at a particular time." from the Introduction.

Einstein made several attempts at a five-dimensional unified field theory including this two-part collaboration with mathematician Walther Mayer "in which a new unified field theory was proposed one based on a four-dimensional space-time continuum with a five-dimensional tangent space attached at each point" Pais Subtle is the Lord p. 492.

Very good. First edition offprint issue. Einstein's work on semivectors "was stimulated by Ehrenfest's insistence on a better understanding of the relation between single-valued and double-valued representations of the Lorentz group . . .
