On T H E Foundations of General Infinitesimal Geometry* by Hermann Weyl

In connection with a seminar on infinitesimal geometry in Princeton, in which I took part, it seemed desirable to clarify the relations between the work of the Princeton school and that of Cartan. With a group © of transformations in m variables £ is associated, in accordance with Klein's Erlanger Program, a homogeneous or plane space 9? of the kind © ; a point of 9? is represented by a set of ...

Hermann Scharfetter

The concept of wave propagation and the interaction of waves with matter is pivotal in many fields of physics and engineering (e. g. radio transmission, optics, sound propagation, transmission of information in waveguides...). Therefore wave propagation plays a central role in teaching physics, electrical engineering, information technology etc. from the undergraduate level (undergratuate engin...
