The Mathematical Structure of Classical and Relativistic Physics A General Classification Diagram /
The theories describing seemingly unrelated areas of physics have surprising analogies that have aroused the curiosity of scientists and motivated efforts to identify reasons for their existence. Comparative study of physical theories has revealed the presence of a common topological and geometric s...
