SYNGE'S GEOMETRIZATION OF MECHANICS; A PRECIS

Abstract

Historically and practically, Synge's work on geometrization crowns an effort that goes back to Lagrange (1736-1813) in his general treatment of dynamical systems and to Riemann (1826-1866) for the idea of multidimensional geometry. T HIS WORKING PRECIS OF Synge's work is essential background for application of geometrical thinking to modern physics. (Author)
