Resumo

In 1922, the Brazilian physicist and mathematician Amoroso Costa published an introduction to the Theory of Relativity.This book, one of the first on the subject in the world, is until now an impressive example of precision, clarity and concision in the treatement of this difficult subject.We present an analysis and evaluation of the text of Amoroso Costa in the scientific context of that period.
