| Summary, etc | This book develops special relativity from Einstein’s principle of relativity in a direct, logical way rather than as a collection of formulas. The book covers the Lorentz transformations in detail and works through their kinematical consequences and well-known “paradoxes” (twin paradox, length contraction, time dilation). It then applies the formalism to relativistic mechanics and presents electrodynamics as an example of a relativistic field theory, providing readers with worked examples and problem sets. A concise introduction to the tensor calculus needed for some formulations is included, together with discussion of experimental tests and selected problems for practice. The presentation is aimed at advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers who want a compact but rigorous treatment of special relativity. |
