Description
|
|
|
|
Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity provides the foundations of our knowledge of space and time. Without it, our understanding of the world and its place in the universe would be unthinkable. This book offers a concise, elementary, yet up-to-date introduction to special relativity. Only the knowledge of basic high school math knowledge is required, yet it will leave the reader with a sound understanding of the subject. Theoretical physics professor Domenico Giulini starts with a broad historical introduction, while the main chapters are dedicated to special relativity, following Einstein's pursuit. Later chapters turn to various applications in all parts of physics and everyday life.
