This results in students often finding it difficult to understand properly the new approach/new ideas, and consequently to solve relativistic problems. Furthermore, a number of books treat the theory using advanced mathematics which is not necessary for the first approach to the theory. This book is intended to serve two roles: a. To treat a student in a systematic constructive way to the basic structure of the theory and b. To provide a large number of solved in-detail problems in the kinematics and dynamics of Special Relativity. Concerning the first aim the book introduces the basics of four-dimensional mathematics, i.e., Lorentz metric, relativistic tensors, and prepares, through working examples, the transition to General Relativity, which requires, besides the relativistic concepts, the use of Differential Geometry and tensor analysis. The presentation is concise and does not replace a book on Special Relativity. Concerning the second intention the large number of problems provides the necessary material which can be used in order to familiarize the student with the relativistic ?world?. These problems can be used in the class by the teachers either as working examples or as problem sheets. It will be our pleasure if the book will be useful to both students and teachers. 410 0$aUndergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics,$x2192-4805 606 $aSpecial relativity (Physics) 606 $aQuantum electrodynamics 606 $aGeometry, Algebraic 606 $aMechanics 606 $aMathematics 606 $aSpecial Relativity 606 $aQuantum Electrodynamics, Relativistic and Many-body Calculations 606 $aAlgebraic Geometry 606 $aClassical Mechanics 606 $aApplications of Mathematics 615 0$aSpecial relativity (Physics) 615 0$aQuantum electrodynamics. 615 0$aGeometry, Algebraic. 615 0$aMechanics. 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aSpecial Relativity. 615 24$aQuantum Electrodynamics, Relativistic and Many-body Calculations. 615 24$aAlgebraic Geometry. 615 24$aClassical Mechanics. 615 24$aApplications of Mathematics. 676 $a530.11 700 $aTsamparlis$b Michael$0838365 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910855387503321 996 $aSolved Problems and Systematic Introduction to Special Relativity$94160124 997 $aUNINA
