Description
This concise introduction to special relativity provides a clear and well-written explanation of one of the most important theories in modern physics. Einstein's groundbreaking work resolves inconsistencies between Newtonian mechanics and Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism, profoundly altering our understanding of space and time.
The book covers key topics such as classical relativity, the relativity postulate, time dilation, momentum and energy, particles of zero mass, electric and magnetic fields and forces. With examples that make it suitable for self-study, this undergraduate-level text assumes only a knowledge of algebra.
