Understanding Einstein's "Relativity" requires a foundational grasp of mathematics, particularly calculus, to fully appreciate the depth of the concepts presented. While it is possible to grasp basic ideas without calculus, this approach limits comprehension to surface-level insights. Notably, Einstein himself authored several accessible texts that do not utilize calculus, making the material approachable for beginners. However, for a comprehensive understanding, familiarity with calculus is essential.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, educators teaching relativity, and anyone interested in the mathematical foundations of Einstein's theories will benefit from this discussion.
