George Yuri Rainich (né Rabinovich) was born in Russia on March 25,
1886. He studied mathematics at universities in Odessa, Göttlingen and Munich,
obtaining a Magister of Pure Mathematics at the University of Kazan in 1913. He
then taught at Kazan and Odessa until 1922, when he came to the United States
of America with his wife Sophie. He was a Johnston Scholar at Johns Hopkins
from 1923-1926, and taught at the University of Michigan until his retirement
in 1956. After retirement, he lectured as a visiting professor at the
University of Notre Dame. Rainich returned to the University of Michigan after
the death of his wife in 1963 and remained active in the field until his death
on October 10, 1968. Rainich's focus of study was relativity theory, but he
also studied electromagnetic theory, linear vector functions, and analytical
vector functions. He taught classes in geometry, higher algebra, vector
analysis, theory of probability, and partial differential equations of
mathematical physics.

The Rainich Papers consist largely of manuscript materials for a
proposed book, course notes (for classes at the University of Michigan and the
University of Notre Dame), and seminar materials created between 1941 and 1965.
They also include the correspondence of Wilfred Kaplan regarding Rainich's
papers, the correspondence between Alice R. Nichols and J. Wiley (publisher)
regarding a book on relativity theory, and photocopies of letters from Albert
Einstein to Rainich.
