Introduction to Special Relativity

by Wolfgang Rindler

An updated edition of the title for students taking an introductory course on special relativity with a conceptual and mathematical emphasis. It assumes no prior knowledge of relativity and much emphasis has been laid on developing the student's intuition for space-time geometry and four-tensor calculus without rejecting three-dimensional methods.

[F.F. White · Rating 5 out of 5]

The straight and simple explanation of special relativity with all the math. You likely need some more intuitive materials to visualize and understand the concepts here, but this is the truly useful and functional information you need to use special relativity for calculations and predictions.
