The Special Theory of Relativity: Einstein's World in New Axiomatics

by Volker Muller, Helmut Gunther, Helmut Günther

Book Overview

This book discusses in detail the special theory of relativity without including all the instruments of theoretical physics, enabling readers who are not budding theoretical physicists to develop competence in the field.
