Special relativity (alternative formulations)
Hendrik Lorentz and Henri Poincaré developed their version of special relativity in a series of papers from about 1900 to 1905. They used Maxwell's equations and the principle of relativity to deduce a theory that is mathematically equivalent to the theory later developed by Einstein.
Affine geometry
In 1912, Edwin B. Wilson and Gilbert N. Lewis developed an affine geometry to express the special theory of relativity.
