Description for Einstein´s Theory: A Rigorous Introduction for the Mathematically Untrained
Hardback. This introduction to the mathematics used in relativity covers both special and general theories and includes numerous features that aid those with less mathematical training, such as 'in-between' calculations and a gradual, rigorous explanation of the theory. Num Pages: 341 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHR; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 166 x 27. Weight in Grams: 664.
This book provides an introduction to the theory of relativity and the mathematics used in its processes. Three elements of the book make it stand apart from previously published books on the theory of relativity.
First, the book starts at a lower mathematical level than standard books with tensor calculus of sufficient maturity to make it possible to give detailed calculations of relativistic predictions of practical experiments. Self-contained introductions are given, for example vector calculus, differential calculus and integrations. Second, in-between calculations have been included, making it possible for the non-technical reader to follow step-by-step calculations. Thirdly, the ... Read more

Reviews for Einstein´s Theory: A Rigorous Introduction for the Mathematically Untrained
From the reviews: “Einstein’s Theory fits in an unusual place for introductory books on the topic. … this work reaches the mathematical, theoretical, and conceptual understanding of a graduate course, assuming just basic algebraic skills. … this is a rare book that can take the motivated reader with an elementary algebra background to a rigorous understanding of general relativity. ...
