Relativity: The Special and the General Theory

208 pages | 1995 | PDF | 6,5 Mb If you are interested in understanding the basic concepts of Relativity Theory, even if you have little mathematical background, then read this book. If you are a student or technical person that wants more of a "plain text" supplement to a technical course or presentation, then read this book. I read it many, many years ago when I was 14, and it had a profound effect on my outlook from that point onward. I labored over several topics sometimes for a week, but then, I was 14! When I finally finished it - I read it again! My point is that the text is well written, the concepts are at times a bit difficult to grasp, but the explanations are very understandable, and if you understand basic algebra, then what little math there is - a few equations essentially - will be quite clear. The main reason I even suggest the algebra is to better understand the relationships expressed within those equations. Bottom line - it is an excellent and "gentle" introduction to relativity and definitely worth reading! Enjoy.
