Wolfgang Rindler
Ox-d University Press | 1989 | ISBN: 0198531818, 0198531826, 0198539525 | 196 pages | Djvu | 3,6 MB
An updated edition of the title for students taking an introductory course on special relativity with a conceptual and mathematical emphasis. It assumes no prior knowledge of relativity and much emphasis has been laid on developing the student's intuition for space-time geometry and four-tensor calculus without rejecting three-dimensional methods.
Review
From reviews of the first edition: 'This will be a really useful book for students for years, perhaps decades, to come.' Nature
'...Rindler's book should be a convenient and valuable (and affordable) addition to the advanced physics students's shelves' American Journal of Physics
'The author's pedagogic skills are apparent in his ability to underline and clearly explain the conceptual intricacies embodied in Einstein's postulates... giving lucid and illuminating accounts of the conventional basic topics' Physics Education
'The text of the first edition is refined and improved. Major changes concern the derivation of the Lorentz transformation and the development of continuum mechanics.' B. Wegner, Mathematics Abstracts, 781/94 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
