Einstein's Theory of Special Relativity: A Mathematical Approach for Non-Physicists

By George Layton Trimble IV

RelativitySimple, Shocking, WorthwhileThe mathematics is SIMPLE. Only high school algebra is used. It is the concepts that are difficult to grasp because they require you to set aside commonly held notions about reality and accept truths that are profoundly counterintuitive. Special Relativity is shocking. From simple premises come mind-bending corollaries that excite the imagination. Ideas like time travel, length contraction, time dilation, and the twin paradox are all easily understood with an understanding of Einstein's great theorem.While conceptually challenging, it is worth the effort! Dr. Trimble will make Einstein's theory of special relativity entertaining, engaging and attainable. Plan for some enjoyable afternoons of fun and learning.
