Best book on exercises of Special Relativity

AI Thread Summary
For those learning special relativity and seeking resources with exercises, several recommended books include Resnick's "Introduction to Special Relativity" and French's "Special Relativity," both of which offer a solid foundation and numerous exercises. Rindler's "Introduction to Special Relativity" is noted for being slightly more advanced, featuring challenging exercises and full solutions in a specific edition. Additionally, there is a suggestion to search online for PDF resources, specifically mentioning "spacetime physics 1971" as a potential source for further materials.

Hi,

I'm learning special relativity with a book which doesn't include any exercises:cry:. Can anyone suggest me a book which includes - many - exercises (only) about SR (eventually with GR) ? Oh, and, with solutions !

Thank you.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Resnick - "Introduction to Special Relativity"
French - "Special Relativity"
Both of these are solid introductory level texts and have a lot of exercises.

Rindler - "Introduction to Special Relativity"
This one is slightly more advanced, although it begins from basics. I found the exercises to be more challenging compared to other books.

Click the pic. Extensive exercises with full solutions (but only in this particular edition).
 
Thank you for your answers ;-). If you also know websites where professors uploaded some PDF files, don't hesitate to share.
 
Google "spacetime physics 1971"
