Introduction to Relativity is intended to teach physics and
astronomy majors at the freshman, sophomore or upper-division
levels how to think about special and general relativity in a
fundamental, but accessible, way. Designed to render any reader a
"master of relativity," everything on the subject is comprehensible
and derivable from first principles. The book emphasizes problem
solving, contains abundant problem sets, and is conveniently
organized to meet the needs of both student and instructor.
* Simplicity: the book teaches space and time in relativity in a
physical fashion with minimal mathematics
* Conciseness: the book teaches relativity by emphasizing the basic
simplicity of the principles at work
* Visualization: space-time diagrams (Minkowski) illustrate
phenomena from simultaneity to the resolution of the twin paradox
in a concrete fashion
* Worked problems: two chapters of challenging problems solved in
several ways illustrate and teach the principles
* Problem sets: each chapter is accompanied by a full set of
problems for the student that teach the principles and some new
phenonmena
