Special Relativity, Electrodynamics, and General Relativity: From Newton to Einstein is intended to teach students of physics, astrophysics, astronomy, and cosmology how to think about special and general relativity in a fundamental but accessible way. Designed to render any reader a "master of relativity,¿ all material on the subject is comprehensible and derivable from first principles. The book emphasizes problem solving, contains abundant problem sets, and is conveniently organized to meet the needs of both student and instructor.
- Fully revised and expanded second edition with improved figures
- Enlarged discussion of dynamics and the relativistic version of Newton's second law
- Resolves the twin paradox from the principles of special and general relativity
- Includes new chapters which derive magnetism from relativity and electrostatics
- Derives Maxwell's equations from Gauss' law and the principles of special relativity
- Includes new chapters on differential geometry, space-time curvature, and the field equations of general relativity
- Introduces black holes and gravitational waves as illustrations of the principles of general relativity and relates them to the 2015 and 2017 observational discoveries of LIGO
Autoren-Porträt von John B. Kogut
John Benjamin Kogut, PhD, is an American theoretical physicist, specializing in high energy physics. He has contributed to the quark-parton model, light-cone quantization, quark confinement, lattice gauge theory, Quantum Chromodynamics (the field theory of quarks and gluons) in extreme environments (high temperatures and densities), and supercomputer simulations as a tool for theoretical physics. For 27 years Dr. Kogut was on the physics faculty of the Loomis Laboratory at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, retiring in 2005 as professor emeritus.
