Description: The book introduces the mathematical formalisms of
special relativity. Developed from the author's
experience teaching physics to students across
different levels, it strive to introduce key concepts
in the topic, building in complexity and using
increasingly advanced mathematical tools as it
progress. Without assuming a background in calculus,
the text begins with symmetry, before delving more
deeply into Galilean relativity. In this first section,
focused on physics. It also covers Lorentz
transformations, gravity, and engineering applications.
In the second part, the text focuses on more advanced
mathematics: continuous groups, rotation groups,
Lorentz group, and differential geometry.
