More about the book
The book presents a mathematically rigorous exploration of special relativity while emphasizing the physical significance behind the mathematics. It covers traditional topics as well as contemporary results, including Zeeman's causal automorphisms, the Penrose theorem, and a detailed introduction to spinors. The second edition introduces a new chapter on the de Sitter universe, guiding readers into the complexities of gravitational fields and models of an expanding universe. The text is accessible, requiring only basic knowledge of linear algebra and real analysis.
