Special Relativity Hardback
by U E (.) Schroder
Part of the World Scientific Lecture Notes In Physics series
Hardback
Description
This book provides a thorough discussion of the concepts and main consequences of special relativity.
Treated in detail are the Lorentz transformations, their kinematical consequences (the so-called paradoxes), relativistic mechanics, electrodynamics as an example of a relativistic field theory, and the principal features of relativistic hydrodynamics.
The book offers a logical development of special relativity from Einstein's principle of relativity alone; arrives at the essential statements of the theory by a direct approach - this emphasis is different from that of most books; and offers a concise introduction to tensor calculus as needed in special relativity.
A selection of problems and documentation of the experimental tests of special relativity are given.
