It is divided into fundamental and advanced topics. The first section starts by recalling the Pythagorean rule and its relation to the geometry of space, then covers every aspect of special relativity, including the history. The second section covers the impact of relativity in quantum theory, with an introduction to relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. It also goes over the group theory of the Lorentz group, a simple introduction to supersymmetry, and ends with cutting-edge topics such as general relativity, the standard model of elementary particles and its extensions, superstring theory, and a survey of important unsolved problems. Each chapter comes with a set of exercises. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM illustrating, through interactive animation, classic problems in relativity involving motion. 606 $aSpecial relativity (Physics) 615 0$aSpecial relativity (Physics) 676 $a530.11 700 $aSchwarz$b Patricia M$g(Patricia Margaret),$f1956-$0285461 702 $aSchwarz$b John H. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810809803321 996 $aSpecial relativity$94029444 997 $aUNINA
