Customer Reviews

an excellent introduction to relativity

Highly recommended. The author had years of experience teaching general relativity to adult education classes. He says his many of his students had no mathematics background. He uses a simplified version of calculus. One comes away from this book with a clear(and rigourous) understanding of why E = mc^2
