Primer Of Special Relativity
A Primer Of Special Relativity is an unusually lucidintroduction to the subject specifically written for Indian students. It isintended to give the beginner a firm grounding for a more advanced course inrelativity. An entire chapter is devoted to applications of the theory toelucidate a large number of topics the students (B.Sc. Physics) come across inModern Physics. Detailed and well-selected examples are used to illuminateaspects of the theory as well as to show techniques of applications. A largenumber of illustrative examples enables the students to gain confidence to solveany problem in relativity normally expected of B.Sc. students. The book meetsthe complete requirements of a textbook for B.Sc. General and Honours courses inspecial theory of relativity recommended by the U.G.C. Existing syllabi in anumber 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 thereforebe used as a text for a number of existing courses (with different allottedperiods) presently prevalent in many Indian universities.
The special theory of relativity is an essential part of the syllabus for B.Sc. (Physics) students in Indian
Universities. Though many excellent books on the subject are available, most of our students find them to
be high-brow because they are written by foreign authors with their own students in view as potential users.
An average Indian student often finds that though he has understood the theory, he cannot solve the
problems intended to test his grasp of the theory. This often results in loss of time for the student when
he tries to refer to a number of books one after another to gain confidence in problem solving.
This book is specifically written for a student who needs to be led quickly and yet with sympathy along
a path suitable for him so that he obtains a proficiency in the subject and develops the necessary skills and
confidence to solve the problems based on the theory. Every effort is made to ensure that an average student
masters the elements of the theory of special relativity in the shortest possible time without recourse to any
other book.
Syllabi in special theory of relativity from a number of Indian Universities have been consulted for
planning of this book. This book not only covers the syllabus recently suggested by the U.G.C. for B.Sc.
General and Honours courses in Indian Universities but it also provides latitude for additional topics to suit
individual taste. The structure of the book is such that it can be used as a textbook to suit individual taste,
or to suit different courses as per the time available for its completion. The style is so facile that if necessary
any topic can be assigned for self-study by the students. Besides the courses recommended by the U.G.C.,
the book can be used as a textbook for courses based on (i) first six chapters with some selected topics from
Chapter 7; (ii) first seven chapters; (iii) first eight chapters etc.
Throughout the writing of the book, the author has kept reminding himself of his own student days—
he has in view an average student putting in sincere efforts to get a clear understanding of elements of the
special theory of relativity. The author would be personally obliged to receive suggestions to make this
book more useful to our student community.
