This book, first appearing in German in 2004 under the title
Spezielle Relativitatstheorie fur Studienanfanger, offers access to
the special theory of relativity for readers with a background in
mathematics and physics comparable to a high school honors degree.
All mathematical and physical competence required beyond that level
is gradually developed through the book, as more advanced topics
are introduced. The full tensor formalism, however, is dispensed
with as it would only be a burden for the problems to be dealt
with. Eventually, a substantial and comprehensive treatise on
special relativity emerges which, with its gray-shaded formulary,
is an invaluable reference manual for students and scientists
alike.Some crucial results are derived more than once with
different approaches: the Lorentz transformation in one spatial
direction three times, the Doppler formula four times, the Lorentz
transformation in two directions twice; also twice the unification
of electric and magnetic forces, the velocity addition formula, as
well as the aberration formula. Beginners will be grateful to find
several routes to the goal; moreover, for a theory like relativity,
it is of fundamental importance to demonstrate that it is
self-contained and without contradictions.Author's website:
