Special Relativity: A Graphic Approach (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798680961513)

This book is for those who wish to acquire a solid, intuitive understanding of Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity, including students at high school and beyond. The key ideas are conveyed graphically, so a strong background in mathematics is not required. Readers see the making of simple "movies" that are clearly faithful to experimental evidence, and then view them to witness relativistic phenomena directly. Insight is more readily gained from observing and thinking pictorially than from following mathematical derivations. The usual topics of Special Relativity are covered in this book, including a thorough analysis of the Twin Paradox, and of course, E=mc 2. An introduction to Gravitation and General Relativity is given in one chapter.
