Provides the essential principles and results of special relativity
as required by undergraduates. The text uses a geometric
interpretation of space-time so that a general theory is seen as a
natural extension of the special theory. Although most results are
derived from first principles, complex and distracting mathematics
is avoided and all mathematical steps and formulae are fully
explained and interpreted, often with explanatory diagrams.; The
emphasis throughout the text is on understanding the physics of
relativity. The structure of the book is designed to allow students
of different courses to choose their own route through the short
self-contained sections in each chapter. The latter part of the
book shows how Einstein's theory of gravity is central to
unraveling fundamental questions of cosmology.
