Index. décimale : |
530.12 Principe de relativité.Théorie de la relativité. |
Résumé : |
This textbook is designed for first and second year undergraduates in physics, engineering and mathematics. Generally, only simple algebra and calculus are used, at a level the average student should understand. The text is developed from the author's, an introduction to the theory of relativity, though the opportunity has been taken to add additional material and to change the emphasis, in several places. |
Note de contenu : |
In summary :
1. Historical introduction I-newtonian mechanics.
2. Histirical introduction II-the rise of the theory of special relativity.
3. The lorentz transformations.
4. Relativistic mechanics.
5. Some applications of the relativistic dynamics of a single particle.
6. Geometrical representation of the Lorentz transformations and the use of 4-vectors.
7. Relativistic electromagnetism.
8. The clock pardox.
9. Theory of general relativity. |
