Review text

Verf untersucht die Rolle, die Probleme der Struktur und Gestalt des Raumes in der Physik und Astronomie im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert bei der Entwicklung der Topologie differenzierbarer Mannigfaltigkeiten gespielt haben. Für eine ausführlichere Arbeit verweist Verf auf eine demnächst im Arch. Hist. Exact Sci. erscheinende Arbeit (Teil 1 dieser Arbeit ist erschienen in [Arch. Hist. Exact Sci. 52, No. 4, 297-392 (1998; Zbl 0904.01003)]). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0993.00023].
