Description
New Age International (P) Ltd A Primer Of Special Relativity by P.L. Sardesai
A Primer of Special Relativity` is an unusually lucid introduction to the subject specifically written for Indian students. It is intended to give the beginner a firm grounding for a more advanced course in relativity.
An entire chapter is devoted to applications of the theory to elucidate a large number of topics the students (BSc. Physics) come across in Modern Physics.
Detailed and well-selected examples are used to illuminate aspects of the theory as well as to show techniques of application. A large number of Illustrative Examples enables the students to gain confidence to solve any problem in relativity normally expected of BSc. students.
The Book meets the complete requirements of a textbook for B.Sc. General and Honours courses in special theory of relativity recommended by the UGC
Existing syllabi in a number of our universities have been taken into account in planning the book. The structure of the book permits a lot of flexibility. The book can therefore be used as a text for a number of existing courses (with different allotted periods) presently prevalent in many Indian Universities.
