Essential Dynamics & Relativity provides students with an
introduction to the core aspects of dynamics and special
relativity. The author reiterates important ideas and terms
throughout and covers concepts that are often missing from other
textbooks at this level. He also places each topic within the wider
constructs of the theory, without jumping from topic to topic to
illustrate a point. The first section of the book focuses on
dynamics, discussing the basic aspects of single particle motion
and analyzing the motion of multi-particle systems. The book also
explains the dynamical behavior of both composite bodies (rigid
bodies) and objects in non-inertial frames of reference (rotating
reference frames). The second section concentrates on relativity.
The author describes the ideas leading to the inception of special
relativity. He also formulates fundamental aspects, such as time
dilation, length contraction, Lorentz transformations, and the
visual aids of Minkowski diagrams, necessary to develop more
sophisticated ideas. He then develops the concepts within the
context of relativistic mechanics. With many examples throughout
and exercises at the end of each chapter, this text makes the often
daunting and confusing ideas of dynamics and special relativity
accessible to undergraduate students studying the subjects for the
first time.
