The Theory of Relativity

The Theory of Relativity

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A graduate-level text for students in physics and mathematics, this book extends beyond mathematical derivations to elaborate on the physical ideas underlying relativity. A historical introduction imparts details of the circumstances that led to the emergence and development of relativity theory. Part One focuses on the special theory, in terms of space-time transformations, its four-dimensional formulation, its mechanics and optics, and its relation to electromagnetism. Part Two examines the general theory, discussing general transformations in the space-time continuum, the geometrization of gravitation, experimental tests of Einstein's theory of gravitation, and relativistic cosmology. 1974 ed.
