{"product_id":"relativity-lite","title":"Relativity Lite","description":"\u003cp\u003eTh is book grew out of my 80- student general astronomy course, which IÕve taught for\u003cbr\u003e\n20 years and whose variety of primary textbooks always glossed over special relativity and\u003cbr\u003e\ngeneral relativity while trying to explain the cosmology that is based on those subjects. Most\u003cbr\u003e\nof my students have been juniors and seniors who are desperate to get their science requirement fulfi lled, hoping for as little math as possible. Over the years, I learned to translate the\u003cbr\u003e\nmathematical equations conventional relativity texts rely on into pictures that are readily\u003cbr\u003e\nunderstood and contain within them the mathematical essentials. Th is book provides the\u003cbr\u003e\ncomprehensive coverage needed to understand, in suffi cient depth, these three linked areas\u003cbr\u003e\nof our reality.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt may be useful in other courses, such as Physics for Poets, Learning Science Th rough\u003cbr\u003e\nScience Fiction, and Natural Science Inquiry. Th ough one seldom gets physics majors in\u003cbr\u003e\nsuch courses, a number of those who have taken them have remarked that they never really\u003cbr\u003e\nunderstood relativity before learning anew in this pictorial form. So this material likely has\u003cbr\u003e\na place in a modern physics course as well. Readers seeking this knowledge on their own\u003cbr\u003e\nmay also fi nd it helpful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jack Straton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44928765624481,"sku":"9781111125961","price":25.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/g992wy-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747540536","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/relativity-lite","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
