SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on the need for problem-solving resources in special relativity. Users recommend the maroon-colored edition of "Spacetime Physics" by E.F. Taylor and J.A. Wheeler as a comprehensive resource. Additionally, "Special Relativity: An Introduction with 200 Problems and Solutions" by Michael Tsamparlis is suggested for its extensive problem set. Both texts are essential for mastering the practical applications of special relativity concepts.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic mathematics related to physics
  • Familiarity with the principles of special relativity
  • Knowledge of problem-solving techniques in physics
  • Access to recommended textbooks and resources
NEXT STEPS
  • Acquire and study "Spacetime Physics" by E.F. Taylor & J.A. Wheeler
  • Work through "Special Relativity: An Introduction with 200 Problems and Solutions" by Michael Tsamparlis

Hi PF,
I'm trying to learn both special and general relativity, I have read all about them, learned the basic math needed, but that was all without "enough" exercices to completely understand the theory, so I need problem books that are purely or mostly about problems about special relativity, I'd be very grateful for anyone who helps :), Thanks !
