He is well known for the Mahalanobis distance, a statistical measure. Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis (1893-1972) worked in applied statistics. He is well known for Bose-Einstein statistics and Bose-Einstein condensate. He sent his paper to Einstein who translated it into German and submitted it on Bose's behalf to the prestigious 'Zeitschrift für Physik'. During this time Bose created the very important field of quantum statistics. Satyendra Nath Bose (1894-1974) was in his early years lecturer in the physics department of the University of Calcutta. Saha founded the institute of nuclear physics in Calcutta which is named in Saha's honor. Saha (1893-1956) visited Berlin in 1919/20, where he was in close contact to Planck, Einstein, v. It also contains a comprehensive Historical Introduction by Mahalanobis, a short biographical note on Einstein by Saha as well as explanatory notes by Mahalanobis and Saha, published here for the first time. It contains translations of (1.) Elektrodynamik bewegter K"orper (On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies), (2.) Die Grundlagen der allgemeinen Relativit"atstheorie (The Foundation of the Generalised Theory of Relativity), the most important papers by Einstein, as well as (3.) Das Relativit"atsprinzip by Minkowski. , xxiii,, 39,, 186 original green cloth, book cover stained, stamp on title.
