Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this book, nonrelativistic spacetime and special relativistic spacetime are modelled by a four dimensional affine space endowed with further structures, among which the fundamental ones distinguishing between them are absolute time and absolute light propagation, respectively. In both cases, the same mathematically well-defined notions are introduced: observer and its space, synchronization and its time, reference frame, splitting of spacetime by a reference frame into synchronization time and observer space, splitting of classical fields into timelike and spacelike components. Coordinate systems which form a starting point of the usual treatments and are intuitive notions there, get mathematically exact and clear definition here. Transformation rules, regarded as postulates there, are assertions here.The book contains lots of examples with detailed calculations which help the reader to see how these models work, and it calls attention to some significant errors arising form the traditional way of thinking in terms of coordinates.The symmetry groups of spacetime, the Noether group and the Poincar group, respectively, are also treated in these models.The mathematics involved is fairly simple and is summarized in the second part of the book. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Based on simple, common-sense observations, the author introduces spacetime in an easily understandable way. Concepts in and around spacetime are explained first independently of any kind of 'relativity connotation', then in the nonrelativistic context and finally in the special relativistic context. Reference frames, while traditionally foundational, make reasoning about spacetime unnecessarily particular. Thinking in terms of spacetime itself makes us much more confident and creative and this carries over to other branches of physics as spacetime is the stage where 'physics happens'. The consistent mathematical formalism of the textbook is as simple as possible and close to the everyday practice of physicists. It helps readers realize that precise mathematical formulation avoids paradoxes and, in general, it is a valuable guide towards the better understanding of Nature.…
