This new edition has been thoroughly updated and has new sections on relativistic fluids, relativistic kinematics and on four-acceleration. The problems and solution section has been significantly expanded and short history sections have been included throughout the book. The approach is structural in the sense that it develops Special Relativity in Minkowski space following the parallel steps as the development of Newtonian Physics in Euclidian space. A second characteristic of the book is that it discusses the mathematics of the theory independently of the physical principles, so that the reader will appreciate their role in the development of the physical theory. The book is intended to be used both as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate teaching course in Special Relativity but also as a reference book for the future. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4805 606 $aGravitation 606 $aCosmology 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravity 606 $aCosmology 606 $aMathematical Physics 606 $aRelativitat especial (Física)$2thub 606 $aFísica matemàtica$2thub 606 $aEducació superior$2thub 608 $aProblemes i exercicis$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aGravitation. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 14$aClassical and Quantum Gravity. 615 24$aCosmology. 615 24$aMathematical Physics. 615 7$aRelativitat especial (Física) 615 7$aFísica matemàtica 615 7$aEducació superior 676 $a530.11 700 $aTsamparlis$b Michael$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0838365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910373931203321 996 $aSpecial Relativity$92527164 997 $aUNINA
