Find Classic Papers by Einstein Online

[J77]

There may already be a thread but I couldn't see it - if so, please direct me there.

I thought it would be nice to find and post links to classic, first papers by, eg. Einstein, which are available online...

First hit on google:

http://www.einstein.caltech.edu/

but can you only buy them from there...

more hopeful: http://dbserv.ihep.su/hist/owa/hw.p...n&athr2=&athr3=&lang=en&date1=&date2=&nres=10

As this thread hope to take off, I'll add that the second link points to translations of:

EINSTEIN 1905 Explanation of the photoelectric effect with use of the quantum hypothesis of Planck. Light is a flow of corpuscular objects with definite energies - Planck's quanta of energy.
EINSTEIN 1905B Invention of the theory of special relativity. Beginnings of the relativistic era in physics.
EINSTEIN 1905C Invention of the theory of special relativity, E = mc2. Beginnings of the relativistic era in physics.
EINSTEIN 1906 Corpuscular-wave dualism for photons. Explanation of the photoelectric effect using the quantum hypothesis of Planck.

EINSTEIN 1924 Extension of the Bose method to the monoatomic gases. Prediction of Bose-Einstein condensation effect.
EINSTEIN 1925 Extension of the Bose method to the monoatomic ideal gases. Prediction of Bose-Einstein condensation effect and rediscovery of the wave properties of matter particles.

Fred's excellent link is to Newton's Principia, and Zz's points to a different translation from those above.

Here's a translation of Einstein's 1905 SR paper.

Riemann's paper, Ueber die Anzahl der Primzahlen unter einer gegebenen Grösse (On the number of primes less than a given quantity)

http://www.claymath.org/millennium/Riemann_Hypothesis/1859_manuscript/

OK, it's in German and the handwriting's impossible... but there are German and English transcripts too.

The links in that page are sort of limited, mainly concentrating on the works of Lorentz. But the couple of links from Astronuc might interest you.
