Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory
(Author) Leonard SusskindThis is a brilliant first course in classical and quantum mechanics, offering readers not an oversimplified introduction, but the real thing - everything you need to start doing physics, and nothing more. Now, thankfully, Susskind and his former student Art Friedman are back, this time to introduce readers to special relativity and classical field theory. At last, waves, forces and particles will be demystified. Using their typical brand of relatively simple maths, enlightening sketches and the same fictional counterparts, Art and Lenny, 'Special Relativity and Classical Field Theory' takes us on an enlightening journey through a world now governed by the laws of special relativity. Starting in their new watering hole, Hermann's Hideaway, with a lesson on relativity, Art and Lenny walk us through the complexities of Einstein's famous theory.
Leonard Susskind
Leonard Susskind is a renowned theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics and string theory. His most famous contribution is the idea of the "holographic principle" in black hole physics. Susskind's writing style is clear and accessible, making complex scientific concepts understandable to a wider audience.
