Publisher's Synopsis
Introduction to the Theory of Relativity is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles of Einstein's theory of relativity, written by Peter Gabriel Bergmann. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of space and time, and the classical mechanics that describe the motion of objects in these dimensions. From there, Bergmann delves into the key ideas of relativity, including the principle of relativity, the nature of light, and the concept of spacetime.The book covers both special and general relativity, exploring the implications of these theories for our understanding of the universe. Bergmann explains the mathematical concepts underlying relativity in a clear and accessible manner, making this book an excellent resource for students and researchers in physics and related fields.Throughout the book, Bergmann provides numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the complex concepts of relativity. He also includes a number of exercises and problems at the end of each chapter to reinforce the material covered and to encourage further exploration of the subject.Overall, Introduction to the Theory of Relativity is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding one of the most important theories in modern physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
