The Theoretical Minimum Series
Using their typical brand of real math, enlightening drawings, and humor, Susskind and Friedman walk us through the complexities of waves, forces, and particles by exploring special relativity and electromagnetism. The latest volume in the New York Times–bestselling physics series explains Einstein’s masterpiece: the general theory of relativity Susskind and Friedman provide a lively introduction to this famously difficult field, which attempts to understand the behavior of sub-atomic objects through mathematical abstractions.
