Sexl, during the fall and winter term 1967-68 in the USA-more precisely, at the University of Georgia (Athens). Since then, Particle Physics has seen spectacular revolutions; but its relativistic symmetry has never been shaken. On the other hand, new technological developments have enabled applications like the GPS (Global Positioning System) that, in a sense, brought Relativity to the domain of everyday use. The purpose of the lecture courses, and thus of the book, is to fill a gap that the authors feel exists between the way Relativity is presented in introductory courses on mechanics and\/or electrodynamics on the one hand and the way relativistic symmetry is presented in particle physics and field theory courses on the other. The reason for the gap is a natural one: too many other themes have to be addressed in the introductory courses, and too many applications are impatiently waiting for their presentation in the particle and field theory courses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45284297900183,"sku":"9783211834435","price":5509.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783211834435.webp?v=1769280758","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/relativity-groups-particles-special-relativity-and-relativistic-symmetry-in-field-and-particle-physics-9783211834435","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
