Ashby, Neil, 1934-
Programmed Units in Physics: Introduction to Special Theory of Relativity, 1972.
This book is an introduction to special relativity for science and engineering students in programmed form. Chapter 1: Introduction to Relativity, covers laws of classical mechanics, the correspondence principle, and absolute space. Chapter 2: Special Theory of Relativity, covers the postulates of relativity, experimental evidence for breakdown of Galilean transformations, time dilation, length contraction, Lorentz transformations, discussion of simultaneity concept, and velocity transformations. Chapter 3: Relativistic Mechanics and Dynamics, covers momentum, second law of motion in relativity, energy in relativity, kinetic energy in relativistic mechanics, Dalton's law, energy expressions in the correspondence limit, and rest mass of the lambda hyperon.
Neil Ashby (1934-) received PhD in Physics from Harvard University (1961). Professor of Physics at University of Colorado, Boulder. Stanley C. Miller (1926-) received PhD in Physics from University of California, Berkeley (1953). Professor of Physics at University of Colorado, Boulder.
