Space-Time Structure (Cambridge Science Classics)

I have read several of E. Schrodinger's works and have enjoyed them immensely. They have expanded my mind and have expanded my understanding of life by giving me a different perspective and for this I am thankful to have read his books. This particular book requires an understanding of calculus in order to even begin to grasp. It's a masterpiece and way ahead of it's time, but it is by no means an easy, light read and the calculations are so complicated that it may not be enjoyable to all. Overall I looked forward to reading this book each night because it put me in a really good place and I could tell it was expanding my mind in real time. Go for it if you enjoy nonfiction and science.

This book presents the results of Schroedinger's work in Ireland in which he explored the manifold of possibilities for unified field theories along the general lines pursued by Einstein. The main accomplishment was in constructing such a theory from just the connection, with metric derived as a consequence, using no ad hoc assumptions. I extended this work in my 1977 Master's thesis. While this kind of theory has gone out of style, it is still an exciting pursuit and Schroedinger's writing is clear and compelling.

This great book is useless on my iPhone or paperwhite because you cannot read the equations.

Solid book about the space time structure.
