Book Info
Text seeking to develop the deepest understanding of relativity and spacetime in terms of the geometrical absolutes. Covers the most interesting topics requiring special relativity, which include spacetime, vectors in spacetime, covectors and dyadics in spacetime, and electromagnetism. DLC: Special relativity (Physics).

"Geometrical Physics in Minkowski Spacetime is an overview and description of the geometry in spacetime, and aids in the creation and development of intuition in four-dimensional Minkowski space. There is an emphasis on the geometry, resulting in an emphasis on the absolutes which underlie relative descriptions. The deepest understanding of relativity and spacetime is in terms of the geometrical absolutes, and this is what the book seeks to develop." "Although the book is not meant for the complete beginner in special relativity, the mathematical prerequisites for the early chapters of the book are very few - linear algebra and elementary geometry (done using vectors and a scalar product). For the later chapters, multivariable calculus and ordinary differential equations are often needed."--BOOK JACKET.
