Abstract
THE subject of this book is extremely difficult for the general scientific reader. Even what seem to be familiar words, such as space and parallel, are used in such generalised senses that’ they become more puzzling than entirely new terms. This is the result of a process of evolution, and can be understood only by recalling the history of these ideas.
The Differential Invariants of Generalised Spaces.
