概要 | Dynamics and Relativity provides an essential introduction to classical mechanics and relativity. It places particular emphasis on the fundamentally different views of space and time held by Newton an... Einstein reaching, in the final chapter, the idea of curved spacetime that lies at the heart of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The book develops the subject from first principles and assumes very little prior knowledge, other than some elementary calculus and trigonometry. It is divided into four parts: the first half is particularly suitable for students who are new to the subject. The second half introduces more advanced material and includes such topics as four-vectors and causality, gyroscopes and the relativistic corrections that underpin the workings of the GPS navigation system. Dynamics and Relativity includes material that is often not encountered in introductory courses but is nevertheless frequently required in more advanced courses.
