Tensors and Special Relativity

119 Views Asked by At

I'm looking for a textbook that covers, at least for a large part, special relativity with tensors/a geometrical approach. Most textbooks I have found develop tensors for the purposes of GR; I'd like a book that goes through this exercise for the purposes of understanding SR. I'll then feel more comfortable moving on with the GR bit.

Ideally, the textbook/resource will first cover tensors, and then move on to discuss tensor analysis in SR.

Any suggestions?

One resource that introduces tensors purely for special relativity would be Professor Susskind's lectures on the subject (notes found here: http://www.lecture-notes.co.uk/susskind/special-relativity/lecture-6/tensors/)

Although these notes don't introduce tensors rigorously as mathematical objects in there own right, they give you exactly what you need to study SR.
