The main aim of this textbook is to help students of engineering and other sciences in more advanced courses in these fields. The textbook discusses relativistic mechanics and the covariant formulation of electromagnetism.This textbook introduces the special theory of relativity and its necessity, as formulated by Einstein, including the Lorentz transformations.Furthermore, it discusses the electromagnetic field energy-momentum density tensor. Moreover, it describes electromagnetism in curved space-time and the unify the gravitational and electromagnetic fields. The Appendix introduces the geometry of physical measurements.The textbook primarily targets undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and science.
