How Geometry Created Modern Physics

Yang-Hui He·City, University of London & Nankai University

Professor Yang-Hui He traces the historical development of geometry from Euclidean axioms to the emergence of non-Euclidean geometries by Gauss and Riemann. This intellectual trajectory is then connected to the foundational principles of Einstein's theory of relativity and the birth of modern physics.
