Description
Special Relativity provides mathematics students with the tools they need to understand the physical basis of special relativity. Written for those approaching the subject with a background in mathematics, Nick Woodhouse aims to build on their familiarity with foundational material and the way of thinking taught in first-year mathematics courses.
The book offers a comprehensive approach to the subject, supported by extensive tutorials and problem classes. It includes examples and exercises ranging from simple to more involved and challenging topics, such as acceleration and tensors. The author's emphasis on space-time diagrams makes this book an ideal choice for those studying special relativity.
