This book is an introduction to the theories of Special and General Relativity. The target audience are physicists, engineers and applied scientists who are looking for an understandable introduction to the topic - without too much new mathematics. The fundamental equations of Einstein's theory of Special and General Relativity are derived using matrix calculus, without the help of tensors. This feature makes the book special and a valuable tool for scientists and engineers with no experience in the field of tensor calculus. In part I the foundations of Special Relativity are developed, part II describes the structure and principle of ... Read more

Reviews for Einstein in Matrix Form
From the book reviews: “Addressing physicists, applied scientists and engineers with no previous knowledge of tensor calculus, Ludyk … presents in a well-written manner a rather easy introduction to special as well as general relativity by solely using matrix calculus and elementary differential geometry. … It is more than certain that Ludyk’s treatment will make it possible for a ...
