Special Relativity: A Heuristic Approach provides a qualitative
exposition of relativity theory on the basis of the constancy of
the speed of light. Using Einstein's signal velocity as the
defining idea for the notion of simultaneity and the fact that the
speed of light is independent of the motion of its source, chapters
delve into a qualitative exposition of the relativity of time and
length, discuss the time dilation formula using the standard light
clock, explore the Minkowski four-dimensional space-time distance
based on how the time dilation formula is derived, and define the
components of the two-dimensional space-time velocity, amongst
other topics.
