Online resources for special relativity

Question

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I'm on a mathematics course that has basically brushed over special relativity. I'm also doing an out of department module called philosophy of physics and as you might expect it doesn't go very deep into the mathematics of it either. I would like to learn it rigorously, but I don't have any resources. I'm looking for recommendations (textbooks e.t.c.) that are available online (I'm pretty handy at finding electronic versions of textbooks but some just aren't available online and I don't have access to the library at the moment). Thanks for any replies!

Answer 1

Perhaps these texts might be useful:

Motion Mountain by Christoff Schiller

Light and Matter by Ben Crowell

Answer 2

In undergrad my professor for Special and General relativity posted some lecture notes by Sean Carrol which are very good. They cover the full theory so they may be a bit much to handle.

- Short Lecture Notes

- Long Lecture Notes
