Relativity Made Relatively Easy: Volume 1 1st Edition by Andrew M. Steane (PDF)

Description

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 notation is postponed until needed. In addition to the more basic ideas such as Doppler effect and collisions, the text introduces more advanced material such as radiation from accelerating charges, Lagrangian methods, the stress-energy tensor, and introductoryGeneral Relativity, including Gaussian curvature, the Schwarzschild solution, gravitational lensing, and black holes. A second volume will extend the treatment of General Relativity somewhat more thoroughly, and also introduce Cosmology, spinors, and some field theory.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Great book

⭐This is a really good book for special relativity with a “gentle but exact” introduction to general relativty. Extremely recommended. Another good point for the book is the high quality paper and binding.

⭐Getting more and more interested in the subject, very nice beginner’s book

⭐Thank you for this nice book!

⭐One of the best book on relativity at undergraduate level. Though the book mainly deals with SR but it also has introductory GR. Really good one if you want to UNDERSTAND relativity

⭐Timely delivery. Book in excellent shape … basically new. Thumbs up.
