The book expounds the major topics in the special theory of relativity. It provides a detailed
examination of the mathematical foundation of the special theory of relativity relativistic
mass relativistic mechanics and relativistic electrodynamics. As well as covariant formulation
of relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics the book discusses the relativistic effect on
photons. Using a mathematical approach the text offers graduate students a clear concise view
of the special theory of relativity. Organized into 14 chapters and two appendices the content
is presented in a logical order and every topic has been dealt with in a simple and lucid
manner. To aid understanding of the subject the book provides numerous relevant worked
examples in every chapter. The book's mathematical approach helps students in their independent
study and motivates them to research the topic further.
