- catalog abstract ""This book is written as a textbook for the self-learner whose physics background includes a minimum of one year of university physics with calculus. More advanced mathematical topics, such as group theory, are explained as they arise. The readership is expected to include high school and college physics educators seeking to improve and update their own understanding of special relativity in order that they may teach it better, science and engineering undergraduates who want to extend their cursory knowledge of relativity to greater depth, and physics graduate students looking for a simple unified treatment of material that usually appears in the graduate physics curriculum in a somewhat disconnected fashion."--Jacket.".
