Description
This book provides a clear explanation of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, making it accessible to readers without a scientific background. With the help of her husband's illustrations, Lillian R. Lieber guides readers through the essential ideas and methods of the theory.
Using "just enough mathematics to help and not to hinder the lay reader," Lieber explains special and general relativity, helping readers to understand the essential equations, including tensors, with clarity and conciseness. The book remains a vivid and helpful resource, thanks to a new foreword and notes.
