Introducing Special Relativity (Paperback)

This book provides an easy and rewarding route into special relativity for first and second year undergraduates at university. The subjects that cause students difficulty, such as time-dilation, are delayed to allow the establishment of confidence so that the greater part of relativity is easy to understand and to apply correctly. This plan involves an early move towards the use of four-vectors and readers are guided gradually towards their use.
The book covers the principle topics of special relativity including: the conserved relatavistic energy and momentum; applications of the Lorentz transformation; developments in twentieth-century physics that depended on relativity; and a review of some of the early experiments relevant to the development of the subject are contained in the final chapter. This text should provide essential reading for all undergraduate physics students and their lecturers.
