This study book by Jeffrey Forshaw from the Manchester Physics Series covers the physical principles behind classical mechanics and relativity. The book introduces the required mathematical concepts and develops them within a physics framework. It is suitable for students who want to delve into dynamics and special relativity without extensive prior knowledge.
Description
The book is logically organized and divided into four parts: an introduction to dynamics and special relativity, followed by more advanced topics within these themes. Each chapter includes problems ranging from simple to challenging, with solutions and hints to support the learning process. The mathematics is carefully explained within the context of physics, making complex topics more accessible.
- Solutions to problems included
- Extensive examples throughout the book
- Mathematical concepts clearly developed within a physics framework
- Focus on topics that are often confusing
