The main feature of this book is the emphasis on "practice." This
approach, unusual in the relativistic literature, may be clarified
by quoting some problems discussed in the text: - the analysis of
rocket acceleration to relativistic velocities - the influence of
gravitational fields on the accuracy of time measurements - the
operation of optical rotation sensors - the evaluation of the
Doppler spectrum produced by the linear (or ro- tional) motion of
an antenna or scatterer - the use of the Cerenkov effect in the
design of millimeter-wave power generators - the influence of the
motion of a plasma on the transmission of electrom- netic waves
through this medium. A correct solution of these (and analogous)
problems requires the use of re lativistic principles. This remark
remains valid even at low velocities, since first-order terms in
(v/c) often playa fundamental role in the equations. The
"applicational" approach used in the text should be acceptable to
space engineers, nuclear engineers, electrical engineers, and more
generally, ap plied physicists. Electrical engineers, in
particular, are concerned with re lativity by way of the
electrodynamics of moving bodies. This discipline is of decisive
importance for power engineers, who are confronted with problems
such as - the justification of a forcing function (-D /Dt) in the
circuit equation of a moving loop - a correct formulation of
Maxwell's equations in rotating coordinate systems - the resolution
of "sliding contact" paradoxes - a theoretically satisfying
analysis of magnetic levitation systems."
