This book originated in the notes of lectures given over a number of years in graduate courses at the University of Toronto and elsewhere. The basic idea is to present the essentials of relativity from the Minkowskian point of view, that is, in terms of the geometry of space-time. This geometrical approach is used to some extent in all expositions of relativity, but I have emphasised it more than is customary, because it is to me (and I think to many others) they key which unlocks many mysteries. (Preface) Inhaltsübersicht: The space-time continuum and the separation between events - Introduction to the special theory - Space-time diagrams - The Lorentz transformation - Applications of the Lorentz transformation - Mechanics of a particle and collision problems - Mechanics of a discrete system - Mechanics of a continuum - The electromagnetic field in vacuo - Fields and charges - Appendix.
