Synopsis

Developed for the first month of a freshman physics course, Spacetime Physics exemplifies today's readiness to place the simplifying discoveries of Einstein and others at the beginning of the study of physics rather than at the end. The book provides an elementary, yet sound and rigorous, introduction to relativity and brings closer the day when the student of physics will be as much at home with the geometry of spacetime as the student in an earlier century was with Euclidean geometry.
