Written for intermediate undergraduate students and independent learners with basic calculus, this Guide covers all of the core ideas of Special Relativity. It does so by using a modern, geometrical approach, which prepares the reader well for further study of General Relativity.

Norman Gray is in the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Glasgow, where he has, over the last 20 years, taught courses covering both special and general relativity. Since his PhD in particle theory, he has had a varied research career, most recently concentrating on the interface between astronomy and computing. He is author of A Student's Guide to General Relativity (2019), which has been a successful addition to Cambridge University Press's growing series of Student's Guides.
