Mahakasher Jyamiti : Euclid Theke Einstein by Shankar Ghosh [Hardcover]

"Among the revolutionary theories that caused a profound upheaval in human thought and action, Albert Einstein's theory of relativity is arguably the best. Einstein's theory radically changed the traditional concepts and definitions of space and time! Instead of a three-dimensional world, a four-dimensional world emerged. However, Einstein was not the first to step into this strange and incredible world. Non-Euclidean geometry was first created by the extraordinary mathematicians Bolyai, Lobachevsky, Riemann, and others, who overcame the dominance of Euclidean geometry. Through this geometry, Minkowski introduced the concept of four-dimensionality, and from there, Einstein constructed the groundbreaking edifice of relativity. This book attempts to capture that long and remarkable journey of intellectual exploration from Euclid to Einstein between two covers."
