Zusammenfassung: Mathematical Part -- The Structure of the Theories of Physics -- Newtonian Physics -- The Foundation of Special Relativity -- The Physics of the Position Four-Vector -- Relativistic Kinematics -- Four-Acceleration -- Paradoxes -- Mass – Four-Momentum -- Relativistic Reactions -- Four-Force -- Irreducible Decompositions -- The Electromagnetic Field -- Relativistic Angular Momentum -- The Covariant Lorentz Transformation -- Geometric Description of Relativistic InteractionsZusammenfassung: This textbook develops Special Relativity in a systematic way and offers the unique feature of having more than 200 problems with detailed solutions to empower students to gain a real understanding of this core subject in physics. This new edition has been thoroughly updated and has new sections on relativistic fluids, relativistic kinematics and on four-acceleration. The problems and solution section has been significantly expanded and short history sections have been included throughout the book. The approach is structural in the sense that it develops Special Relativity in Minkowski space following the parallel steps as the development of Newtonian Physics in Euclidian space. A second characteristic of the book is that it discusses the mathematics of the theory independently of the physical principles, so that the reader will appreciate their role in the development of the physical theory. The book is intended to be used both as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate teaching course in Special Relativity but also as a reference book for the future. In that respect it is linked to an online repository with more than 200 problems, carefully classified according to subject area and solved in detail, providing an independent problem book on Special RelativityPPN: PPN: 1684970016Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-PHA | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXP
