The Ideas of Special and General Relativity

A qualitative overview of the foundational principles of relativity, including historical development of concepts of relativity from the time of Galileo.

This book is aimed at anyone with an interest in the history of development of special and general relativity. It should provide a working knowledge of the main ideas, able to stand on its own, or form the basis for further study. The content discussed could support the Scottish Qualifications Authority's Higher and Advanced Higher Physics courses, although it is not meant to be a perfect match for assessable learning outcomes.
