Synopsis

One of the problems facing mathematics and physics is that mathematicians and physicists speak languages that the others find hard to understand. These notes take a fundamental part of physics, the special theory of relativity and describe it in terms that can be understood by mathematics students who have studied the two basic undergraduate topics, linear algebra and multivariable calculus. It gives a full description of the geometry of space-time and the foundations of the theory of electromagnetism in terms they are familiar with.

Review

"The exhibition of the theory is very detailed. No deeper background in physics is necessary to understand the contents of this book. From this point of view the book can be recommended to students of mathematics who want to get insight into some basic theories of physics." Bernd Wegner Mathematics Abstracts, 1992
