And if it doesn't, what is on the otherside??' My father of course had no idea. It has since been a subtle quest of mine to fine answers to these questions. I, as well as every person on this planet, have heard Einstein's name ...             Flat and Curved Space-Times1 review George F. R. Ellis, R. M. Williams, ... Oxford University Press, USA, 2001 An excellent and crystal clear presentation of relativity. This is one of the best introductions to the subject that I've read. The explanations are transparent with ample illustrations and examples. There are also many exercises to help the reader enforce what he has learned. There is also a very helpful annoted bibliography (actually the Afterword) ...             Gravitation and Spacetime5 reviews Hans C. Ohanian, Remo Ruffini W. W.

David Mermin Princeton University Press, 2005 The best way to learn the fundamentals of relativity + The importance of thinking relatively + finally an elegant text about this subject The basic ideas making up Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity are relatively easy to understand. The only mathematics required to understand the formulas is basic algebra and very little knowledge of physics is needed. The only essential physics background is an understanding of many of ...             Fundamentals of Scientific Mathematics George E. Owen Dover Publications, 2003 Rewarding undergraduate text, derived from an experimental program in teaching mathematics at the secondary-school level. This text provides a good introduction to geometry and matrices, vector algebra, analytic geometry, functions, and differential and integral calculus.
