これは相対論の開拓者アインシュタイン博士自信による他の誰の手も加わっていないpapersです。まとまりのある教科書を読むのもいいことですがどうせなら暇なときに英語でしかも相対論創設者自らの手による文章を読みながら勉強したいものです。それには一応の相対論の基本事項は知らねばなりません。それには相対性理論：風間（培風館）や相対性理論30講：戸田（朝倉書店）などの分かりやすい入門書を勉強してから読むと分かることが増えると思います。何せ相対論の基本的なことはアインシュタイン博士自ら創設したのだからこれが理解できれば相対論は理解できたと思っていいでしょう。また共立出版から湯川秀樹博士らによるアインシュタインなどの論文の訳書が出ていますが英語版の方が安いしブラウン運動の原論文も英語でInvestigations on the Theory of the Brownian MovementとしてDover社から約1000円で出ています。
特にアインシュタインの第一論文は特殊相対論の基本事項と電磁気学の基礎知識を知っていれば容易に読めます。これの訳書も岩波から内山氏の訳・解説で出ていますがどうも内山氏の文章は何かと癇にさわり読んでも得した気になりません。是非英語で書かれた物理の本にもなれる意味で英語版をお勧めします。

特殊相対論から一般相対論に至る過程で大きな寄与をした、アインシュタイン、ローレンツ、ミンコフスキー、ゾンマーフェルトそしてワイルらの論文が載っています。 英語自体はわりと平易(ミンコフスキーのは例外かも)ですし、値段も手頃なので、相対論の心を知りたいひとは持っていて損はないと思います。 一般相対論関連の論文を読む前に、リーマンやリッチ・レビチビタの構築した絶対微分学やリーマン幾何の論文を読むとなおいいと思います(たしか、矢野健太郎氏の邦訳本が出ているはずです)。

Einstein: the originals
2002/1/15
形式:ペーパーバック
Of course this is a five-star book: it contains two of the most
important scientific documents of all time! It is, of course, not a book for beginners: the very Planck, who was the editor of the Annalen der Physik, where the German originals were published, had to ask for explanations a few times, in order to grasp the meaning of the "Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies". The teaching of relativity is now done in a rather different way, emphasizing, from the beginning, the 4-dimensional picture, as in Taylor-Wheeler's "Spacetime physics". Einstein's paper is on a modification of electrodynamics to make it agree with the tenets of relativity (the particular inertial frame being used is of no effect at all). In order to do that he finds it necessary to change mechanics, and actually the very basic concepts of mechanics. In contrast, the great paper on general relativity "Foundations of general relativity" has pedagogical preocupations, and is quite readable, including an interesting introduction to tensors which clearly shows that, master of the physics of the problem, Einstein was a novice at the mathematics of it. This book is a treasure. There are also papers by Lorentz, Poincare' and others. Great fun. But, learn your relativity first!

Excellent, Essential Reading
1999/3/24
形式:ペーパーバック
This is a collection of the original papers that led to the principle of relativity.
The book gives excellent insight as to how and why the theory was developed. It clearly shows how the theory better explains certain parts of our universe.
The only drawback is that the mathematical level may cause the book to be unapproachable to many. I reccommend at least one year of Calculus if you intend to understand the works fully. Without such a background the book is difficult at best, but still rewarding.
If you lack this background you might be better served by reading Einsteins Relativity, the first book in the list above of what purchasers of this book also bought.
Nonetheless I agree with the School Science and Mathematics review,"It is really a thrill to read again the original papers by these giants."

How science should be written
2004/4/16
形式:ペーパーバック
Reading the original papers would be best, but if you don't read German then the Dover collection is the next best thing. In the paper on special relativity, the Lorentz transformations are derived via formulating and solving a first order pde, a treatment that no textbook presents (first order pdes aren't taught in math physics, in spite of the fact that every set of first order autonomous odes generates a first order pde). It took my teaching the subject to advanced undergrads in later years to realize what many others have by now noticed, namely, you don't need two postulates for special relativity. "Galilean invariance" is enough. The constancy of the speed of light follows from the requirement that there is no special reference frame.
Einstein's presentation of GR is unsurpassed for conciseness and clarity, is a model for other researchers to follow when writing papers. Here, he introduces the famous misconception (corrected today in the better texts like Misner, Thorne, and Wheeler) that general covariance is a physical principle. Well, even the greatest minds make mistakes.
Feynman wrote well, but no scientist to date has written better than Einstein.
