Abstract: Abstract The study of Finsler metrics began with P. Finsler’s dissertation [Fi] in 1918. Finsler’s thesis was was published in 1951. In his thesis, Finsler mainly studied the variational problems of Finsler metrics. He did not introduce the notions of curvatures which are the central concepts in geometry.
