Abstract

Helliwell achieves a rare clarity. For instance, the derivation of the standard kinematic results starting from Einstein’s postulates is outstandingly clear. Throughout he shows an unusual and sympathetic appreciation of the problems that are faced by the beginning student.” — John Taylor, University of Colorado .. epigraph:: “*Special Relativity* is definitely much better than the books I have read on this topic, and I would recommend it to any instructor who plans to teach a course on this topic. For anyone teaching special relativity as a part of a Modern Physics course, this book offers valuable supplementary reading.” — Shirvel Stanislaus, Valparaiso University
