Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This classic early introduction to Einstein's theory, written by a prominent physicist, provides an excellent introduction for the uninitiated and the necessary methods for those pursuing the theory's more complicated applications. It considers the two main postulates upon which the theory rests and their experimental evidence, followed by an elementary deduction of the postulates' consequences, a variety of kinematic applications, and the development and application of a particle dynamics theory. The relation between relativity theory and the principle of least action receives a full treatment, and the text concludes with an exposition of a four-dimensional method of expressing and treating the results of relativity theory. 1917 ed.
