Special Relativity: A Heuristic Approach

by Sadri Hassani

Special Relativity: A Heuristic Approach is an intermediate textbook on relativity, unique both in its approach and its content. The book approaches relativity with the Lorentz Transformations, which are the key to understanding the subject. Once they are derived as coordinate transformations that leave the distance in the two-dimensional spacetime unchanged and later generalized to four dimensions, the Lorentz transformations are applied to a multitude...
