Book Description
"The best layman's introduction to relativity that has ever been written by anybody."-physicist and educator Freeman J. Dyson
Precise, brief, and practical, this text is the work of a highly respected teacher with years of classroom experience, who sketches the mathematical background essential to a clear understanding of the fundamentals of relativity theory. Each subject-including the velocity of light, the measurement of time and distance, and the properties of mass and momentum-is illustrated with diagrams, formulas, and examples. All chapters conclude with a series of exercises, with solutions at the end of the book. Readers possessing a minor degree of mathematical capacity and a willingness to work out a few numerical examples will find that this text puts Einstein's view of the universe well within their grasp. 1960 ed.
