More about the book
The book provides a mathematically rigorous exploration of the special theory of relativity, emphasizing the physical significance behind the mathematics. It covers traditional topics while introducing contemporary results, such as Zeeman's causal automorphisms and Penrose's theorem on moving spheres. Additionally, it includes a new chapter on the de Sitter universe, bridging special relativity with gravitational fields and addressing the universe's accelerating expansion. The text is accessible, requiring only knowledge of linear algebra and some real analysis.
