About This Book

This book concentrates on presenting the theory of special relativity as the geometry of space-time. The presentation is straightforward, complete and reader-friendly, with explanatory asides, that give historical context and links with other branches of physics and mathematics. The final chapters are devoted to a comprehensive and detailed exposition of Einstein's special relativity.
