AIP Conference Proceedings, 2006
ion: "Abstraction by deletion ... One carefully omits parts of the data describing the mathematical concepts ... to obtain the more abstract concept" (Saunders MacLane, ibid.).

The Epistemology of Albert Einstein [PDF]

, 1969
The famous use by Einstein of the elliptical non-Euclidean geometry of Reimann raised in its own way a point of extreme methodological interest and controversy, dealing with the question of the essence of geometry. Can geometry be called a physical science after the manner of, say, analytical mechanics, so that not only its validity but whole raison d ...

Albert Einstein: The Violinist

The Physics Teacher, 2005
To the press of his time Albert Einstein was two parts renowned scientist, one jigger pacifist and Zionist fundraiser, and a dash amateur musician. These proportions persisted during 1979, the 100th anniversary of his birth, as writers in all media jostled each other as they recounted his achievements. Relativity tended to hog the show.
