Autoren-Porträt von Thomas M. Helliwell
THOMAS M. HELLIWELL is Burton Bettingen Professor of Physics, Emeritus, at Harvey Mudd College, USA. He received his B.A. from Pomona College, USA and his Ph.D. at Caltech, USA, where his thesis was on atomic physics and quantum mechanics. He has published more than 40 research papers, many with undergraduate coauthors, in quantum mechanics and general relativity. He has taught a wide variety of undergraduate courses, from beginning to advanced, in classical mechanics, special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and electromagnetism.

Rezension zu „Special Relativity “
'Helliwell's book strikes a tone that will be very effective with a wide population of students. The writing is very accessible and conveys excitement and engagement. The problems are abundant, and students will enormously appreciate the carefully worked examples throughout. This text chooses a middle road and has a 'practical flavor' that is often obscured in other books.' - Louis Buchholtz, California State University at Chico, USA'<EM>Special Relativity</EM> by Helliwell is a very well written book that should be easy for the students to read and understand without much help from the instructor. The topics are very clearly explained with a lot of detail and clear illustrations. This book is definitely much better than the books I have read on this topic, and I would recommend it to any instructor who plans to teach a course on special relativity. For anyone teaching special relativity as a part of a Modern Physics course, this book offers valuable supplementary reading.' - Shirvel Stanislaus, Valparaiso University, USA
