Special Relativity for Beginners: A Textbook for Undergraduates Freund Jurgen
This book, first appearing in German in 2004 under the title Spezielle Relativitätstheorie für Studienanfänger, offers access to the special theory of relativity for readers with a background in mathematics and physics comparable to a high school honors degree. The full tensor formalism, however, is dispensed with as it would only be a burden for the problems to be dealt with. All mathematical and physical competence required beyond that level is gradually developed through the book, as more advanced topics are introduced.
Eventually, a substantial and comprehensive treatise on special relativity emerges which, with its gray-shaded formulary, is an invaluable reference manual for students and scientists alike.Some crucial results are derived more than once with different approaches: the Lorentz transformation in one spatial direction three times, the Doppler formula four
