  • Geometry Of The Octonions, The

    by Tevian Dray, Corinne A Manogue ...
    There are precisely two further generalizations of the real and complex numbers, namely, the quaternions and the octonions. The quaternions naturally describe rotations in three dimensions. In fact, all (continuous) symmetry groups are based on one of these four number systems. This book provides an elementary introduction to the properties of the octonions, with emphasis on their geometric ... Read more

  • The Geometry of Special Relativity

    by Tevian Dray ...
    Series series Textbooks in Mathematics
    This unique book presents a particularly beautiful way of looking at special relativity. The author encourages students to see beyond the formulas to the deeper structure.The unification of space and time introduced by Einstein’s special theory of relativity is one of the cornerstones of the modern scientific description of the universe. Yet the unification is counterintuitive because we perceive ... Read more

  • Differential Forms and the Geometry of General Relativity

    by Tevian Dray ...
    Requiring little more than calculus and some linear algebra, this book provides readers with a coherent path to understanding relativity. It helps readers learn just enough differential geometry to grasp the basics of general relativity. The first half of the book describes some of the surprising implications of relativity without introducing more formalism than necessary. The second half takes a ... Read more

  • Electromagnetic Theory

    by Stratton Julius Adams ...
    The pattern set nearly 70 years ago by Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism has had a dominant influence on almost every subsequent English and American text, persisting to the present day. The Treatise was undertaken with the intention of presenting a connected account of the entire known body of electric and magnetic phenomena from the single point of view of Faraday. Thus, it ...

  • Feynman Lectures Simplified 3A: Quantum Mechanics Part One

    by Robert Piccioni ...
    Series Book 1 - Everyone's Guide to the Feynman Lectures on Physics
    Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.Quantum mechanics is rarely taught well in introductory physics courses, largely because this challenging subject was not well taught to many of today’s instructors. Few had the opportunity to learn quantum mechanics from some who understood it profoundly; almost none learned it from one of its creators. Here ... Read more

  • Principles Of Mechanics

    by John L. Synge ...
    In a sense this is a book for the beginner in mechanics, but in another sense it is not. From the time we make our first movements, crude ideas on force, mass, and motion take shape in our minds. This body of ideas might be reduced to some order at high school as crude ideas of geometry are reduced to order, but that is not the educational practice in North America. There is rather an accumulation ... Read more
