What is Introduction to the Theory of Relativity (Dover Books on Physics) about?
This book presents the theory of relativity for students of physics and mathematics who have had no previous introduction to the subject and whose mathematical training does not go beyond the fields which are necessary for studying classical theoretical physics. The specialized mathematical apparatus used in the theory of rela¬ tivity, tensor calculus, and Ricci calculus, is, therefore, developed in the book itself. The main emphasis of the book is on the development of the basic ideas of the theory of relativity; it is these basic ideas rather than special applications which give the theory its importance among the various branches of theoretical physics.
Who reads Introduction to the Theory of Relativity (Dover Books on Physics)?
It is typically read by self-directed learners exploring a subject in depth.
Common subject areas: history, science, philosophy, social sciences.
