Relativity Made Relatively Easy presents an extensive study of
Special Relativity and a gentle (but exact) introduction to General
Relativity for undergraduate students of physics. Assuming almost
no prior knowledge, it allows the student to handle all the
Relativity needed for a university course, with explanations as
simple, thorough, and engaging as possible. The aim is to make
manageable what would otherwise be regarded as hard; to make
derivations as simple as possible and physical ideas as transparent
as possible. Lorentz invariants and four-vectors are introduced
early on, but tensor notation is postponed until needed. In
addition to the more basic ideas such as Doppler effect and
collisions, the text introduces more advanced material such as
radiation from accelerating charges, Lagrangian methods, the
stress-energy tensor, and introductory General Relativity,
including Gaussian curvature, the Schwarzschild solution,
gravitational lensing, and black holes. A second volume will extend
the treatment of General Relativity somewhat more thoroughly, and
also introduce Cosmology, spinors, and some field theory.
