This book provides an introduction to the theory of relativity and
the mathematics used in its processes. Three elements of the book
make it stand apart from previously published books on the theory
of relativity.
First, the book starts at a lower mathematical level than standard
books with tensor calculus of sufficient maturity to make it
possible to give detailed calculations of relativistic predictions
of practical experiments. Self-contained introductions are given,
for example vector calculus, differential calculus and
integrations. Second, in-between calculations have been included,
making it possible for the non-technical reader to follow
step-by-step calculations. Thirdly, the conceptual development is
gradual and rigorous in order to provide the inexperienced reader
with a philosophically satisfying understanding of the theory.
The goal of this book is to provide the reader with a sound
conceptual understanding of both the special and general theories
of relativity, and gain an insight into how the mathematics of the
theory can be utilized to calculate relativistic effects.
