Description:
Introduction To Special Relativity authored by Robert Resnick is the definitive guide for the layperson to learn about the concepts of General and Special Relativity. The first part of the book talks about modern physics, and the recent studies, research, and the consequent new theories. The second part of the book deals with General and Special Relativity. The physics theories and concepts are covered at the fundamental levels. The author discusses the experimental background from the times of Galileo and Newton, through to the modern day experiments and hypotheses, finally arriving at Einstein?s Theory of General Relativity. It also has details about the Relativity Theory in relation to Kinematics, its dynamics, electromagnetism, principles of equivalence, the geometric representation of time-space continuum, and the twin paradox.
