Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics: Conceptual Evolution of Newtonian and Relativistic Mechanics

 

This book provides an introduction to Newtonian and relativistic mechanics. Unlike other books on the topic, which generally take a 'top-down' approach, it follows a novel system to show how the concepts of the 'science of motion' evolved through a veritable jungle of intermediate ideas and concepts.

Beschrijving Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics: Conceptual Evolution of Newtonian and Relativistic Mechanics

Furthermore, it presents Galilean transformation and the principle of relativity, inadequacy of Galilean relativity and emergence of the spatial theory of relativity with an emphasis on physical understanding, as well as the debate over relative motion versus absolute motion and Mach's principle followed by the principle of equivalence.
