SteaneOxford :Oxford University Press,2012.1 online resource (436 pages)"The present book is self-contained and does not require knowledge of the first one, but a more basic text such as The Wonderful World or something similar is recommended as a preparation for this book"--PrefaceIncludes bibliographical references and index.Relativity Made Relatively Easy presents an extensive study of Special Relativity and a gentle (but exact) introduction to General Relativity for undergraduate students of physics. Assuming almost no prior knowledge, it allows the student to handle all the Relativity needed for a university course, with explanations as simple, thorough, and engaging as possible.The aim is to make manageable what would otherwise be regarded as hard; to make derivations as simple as possible and physical ideas as transparent as possible. Lorentz invariants and four-vectors are introduced early on, but tensor notSpecial relativity (Physics)Relativity (Physics)Special relativity (Physics)Relativity (Physics)530.11Steane Andrew M.1028593MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQCaOWtU9910462528703321Relativity made relatively easy2450432UNINA
