Special & General Relativity: A Beginner's Introduction to Basic & Advanced Concepts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781074054656)

Relativity is a triumph of the power of human thought and Einstein's greatest gift to mankind. It is a fascinating but difficult theory to understand. Mathematics is intimidating for a beginner. The popular books do not go into details of the subject and textbooks are just too hard for self-study. This book aims to bridge the gap between the two. The emphasis of this book is to explain the meaning and intuition behind concepts and mathematics. There is extensive use of analogies from daily life to develop visualization and intuition. This book is well suited for a beginner who has limited physics and mathematics background. The biggest barrier in learning relativity is the notation, which is a language onto itself. If the meaning behind notation is not clear, it's easy to get lost in the maze of indices used in relativity. This book tries to address the reason and meaning behind relativistic notation.
