<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Concise treatment, based on ideas of Einstein and Minkowski, geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics. Topics include old physics, new geometry, special relativity, curved space, and general relativity. 1950 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Based on the ideas of Einstein and Minkowski, this concise treatment is derived from the author's many years of teaching the mathematics of relativity at the University of Michigan. Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students of physics, the text covers old physics, new geometry, special relativity, curved space, and general relativity.<br>Beginning with a discussion of the inverse square law in terms of simple calculus, the treatment gradually introduces increasingly complicated situations and more sophisticated mathematical tools. Changes in fundamental concepts, which characterize relativity theory, and the refinements of mathematical technique are incorporated as necessary. The presentation thus offers an easier approach without sacrifice of rigor.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Based on the ideas of Einstein and Minkowski, this concise treatment is derived from the author's many years of teaching the mathematics of relativity at the University of Michigan.
