بغض النظر عن كل شيء
وبغض النظر عن دكتور محمد حسن وعن إني كنت هسقط في المادة ديه :D
بس الكتاب ده فعلا كويس
ومناسب جدنا لدراسة النسبية للمرة الأولى , والرياضيات بتاعته سهلة وبسيطة

Easily the best introductory book for self-study given the amount of worked out numerical examples and time spent developing the subject. For those at least familiar with the topic and have a solid grasp of basic differential and integral calculus.

I must say that this book sets right many a wrong notions undergrads have about STR. This is an important book in the sense that it puts into its readers mind, the right thinking patterns and does so without invoking heavy duty math.

اولین ی کتابی که نسبیت خاص اینشتین را در آن مطالعه کردم. خیلی دوستش دارم، هنوز هم هیجان زایدالوصفی را به خاطر دارم در شبی که برای اولین بار از این کتاب خواندم که چگونه رابطه‌ی معروف اینشتین به دست می‌آید.

A magificent literary masterpiece of joy and sorrow, tragedy and hope, love and despair. With brilliant twists and turns, Robert Resnick's classic "Introduction to Special Relativity" will take you on an epic journey that will fundamentally change your understanding of human nature, the world we live in, the War of 1812 and the Finnish economy. An absolutely fantastic piece of literature when I read it back in 1957 at the age of 8, and now as I re-read it as a 82 year old man, it is just as phenomenally poignant as it was when I first read it. As the great author Frank Lloyd Wright once said: "I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser. Midnights become my afternoons."

Good introductory book on STR. Good physical explanations. There are better than this though.

[Ankit Shrestha · Rating 5 out of 5]

A truly well-written book to mathematically understand the Special Theory of Relativity. Would recommend to first-year physics undergraduates although high-school students can also understand it.
