| Summary: | This book provides a thorough discussion of the concepts and main consequences of special relativity. Treated in detail are the Lorentz transformations, their kinematical consequences (the so-called paradoxes), relativistic mechanics, electrodynamics as an example of a relativistic field theory, and the principal features of relativistic hydrodynamics. The book offers a logical development of special relativity from Einstein's principle of relativity alone; arrives at the essential statements of the theory by a direct approach — this emphasis is different from that of most books; and offers a concise introduction to tensor calculus as needed in special relativity. A selection of problems and documentation of the experimental tests of special relativity are given. Contents: History of the Development of Relativity Theory Physical and Conceptual Foundations of the Theory of Special Relativity Tensors Formulation of Relativity Theory in Minkowski Space Relativistic Mechanics Electrodynamics: An Example of a Relativistic Field Theory Relativistic Hydrodynamics Limits of Special Relativity Appendices: Problems, The Experimental Tests of Special Relativity |
