Special Relativity : For Inquiring Minds Paperback / softback
by Yury Deshko
Part of the Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
This textbook introduces the special theory of relativity at a level which is accessible to undergraduate students and even high school students with a strong foundation in algebra.
The presentation emphasizes clean algebraic and geometrical methods, visualized with plenty of illustrations, resulting in a textbook that is modern and serious yet accessible.
Replete with many solved exercises and copious spacetime diagrams, this book will help students develop relativistic intuition when encountering the subject for the first time.
The emphasis on geometric methods, combined with the pedagogically appealing k-calculus approach, makes this book ideal for a self-contained course on special relativity or as supplementary reading for modern physics courses.
It will also appeal to high schoolers with a strong math background who want to get ahead.
