| The concept of reference frame was introduced in physics at an early stage when its formalisation had just begun and even before introduction of systems of co-ordinates and equations of motion; this concept continues to play a fundamental role in science ever since. In this book, the author considers mainly the problem of the description and further applications of reference frames in relativistic physics primarily using a general relativistic approach to them. |
