Elements of Relativity Theory
Elements of Relativity Theory
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The basic concepts of relativity theory are conveyed through worked and unworked examples in this text, which requires no mathematics beyond elementary algebra. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, it emphasizes physical principles and concepts. The author anticipates the variety of difficulties newcomers to relativity theory may encounter, and his presentation prepares them for more advanced studies of the subject. Starting with the special principle of relativity, the text progresses to examinations of the Lorentz transformation, velocity transformations, and relativistic mechanics, concluding with an exploration of the general theory of relativity.
