The special theory of relativity, a monumental achievement of scientific creativity, appeared in 1905 as a culmination of deep and careful analysis of contradictions in old notions. The subject is now taught in almost all universities and colleges in the departments of physics and mathematics.
This text is designed to give students a solid foundation in experimental background of the theory, relativistic kinematics, relativistic dynamics, and relativistic electrodynamics. What distinguishes the text are some special features, not found in other similar texts, that give a more intuitive understanding of the subject. An important feature of the text is its clarity and correctness with which the principles, their relations, and their applications are set forth.
The book will also be useful to B.Sc. (Hons.) students in physics for a study of this topic as part of the course in Modern Physics.isbn-9788120319639
