статия на Иван Тодоров по въпроса...
В нея може да се прочете за отношението на Айнщайн към математиката(леко утрирано може би..):
"...“Einstein . . . often spoke against abusive use of mathematics in physics. Physics, he would say, is essentially a concrete and intuitive science.”
“I do not believe in mathematics”, Einstein is reported to have
affirmed before 1910
..........
Ама като закъсал , почнал да вика за помощ :
"...The next important breakthrough comes
a year later, in August 1912 when Einstein is back in Zurich and is literally crying for
help to his friend and fellow student from ETH: “Grossmann, you must help me or else
I’ll go crazy!” (Since 1907 Marcel Grossmann was a professor of geometry in ETH.)
As witnessed in Einstein’s correspondence (letter to L. Hopf of 16 August, 1912) at this time the two of them understood that gravity should be described not by a single scalar field(which Einstein related in previous publications with the variation of the velocity of light),but by the symmetric tensor metric field gм (x) which has 10 independent components.
Grossmann quickly realized that the generally covariant formalism Einstein was looking
for (equivalence of arbitrarily moving frames) was provided by Riemannian geometry..."
Почва яка борба с математиката , като Айнщайн си признава на Зомерфелд следното:
"..On 29 October 1912 he wrote to Sommerfeld: “I assure you that with respect to quantum I have nothing new to say . . .I am now exclusively occupied with the problem of gravitation and I hope to master all 4 difficulties with the help of a friendly mathematician here. But one thing is certain: in all my life I have labored not nearly as hard, and I have become imbued with great respect for
mathematics, the subtler part of which I had in my simple–mindedness regarded as pure luxury until now.
Compared with this problem the original relativity is a child’s play...”
