Introduction to the Relativity PrincipleAuthor(s): G. Barton\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: John Wiley & Sons Inc\nISBN-13: 9780471998969, 978-0471998969\nSynopsis\nRelativity, almost a hundred years old in its classic Einsteinian form, is one of the most fascinating threads running through science from Galileo's day to ours. This book, based on a short course at the University of Sussex, presents relativity as a natural outgrowth of dynamics: the concepts are introduced through careful physical reasoning and simple mathematics, and are then applied over a wide range, well meshed with current undergraduate syllabuses. Features * An accessible introduction through pre-Einstein relativity * Scrupulously assessed experimental evidence (mostly modern) * Elementary mathematics, aimed at a working acquaintance with kinematics, energy and momentum conservation, and the propagation of plane waves * The book includes many carefully chosen.
