Bienvenidos!!

Buenas, aca Favio. La idea de crear este blog es tratar de hacerle llegar a todos lo fascinante de la física. Acá posteare libros, manuales, exámenes, todo lo posible. Aca pronto encontraras artículos sobre relatividad general, cosmología, mecánica clásica y cuántica, teoría de cuerdas, electromagnetismo, bueno todo (la física prácticamente abarca todo). Bueno saludos!

Rafael Ferraro, "Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity"



Rafael Ferraro, "Einstein's Space-Time: An Introduction to Special and General Relativity" 
Springer | 2007 | ISBN: 0387699465 | 310 pages | PDF | 5 MB


This is a textbook addressed to students in Physics and other people interested in Relativity and History of Physics. The book contains a complete account of Special Relativity that begins with the historical analysis of the reasons that led to a change in our manner of regarding the space and time. The first chapters are aimed to afford a deep understanding of the relativistic spacetime and its consequences for Dynamics. The chapter about covariant formulation includes the concepts of volume and hypersurfaces in manifolds, energy-momentum tensor of a fluid, etc., and prepares the language for General Relativity. The last two chapters are devoted to introduce General Relativity and Cosmology in a modern approach connected with the latest discoveries in these areas.

An Illustrated Guide to Relativity


Tatsu Takeuchi, "An Illustrated Guide to Relativity" 
Cambridge University Press |2010| ISBN: 0521763940 |266 pages|PDF | 3,7 MB


Aimed at both physics students and non-science majors, this unique book explains Einstein's special theory of relativity pictorially, using diagrams rather than equations. The diagrams guide the reader, step-by-step, from the basics of relativity to advanced topics including the addition of velocities, Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the twin paradox, Doppler shift, and Einstein's famous equation E=mc². The distinctive figures throughout the book enable the reader to visualize the theory in a way that cannot be fully conveyed through equations alone. The illustrative explanations in this book maintain the logic and rigour necessary for physics students, yet are simple enough to be understood by non-scientists. The book also contains entertaining problems which challenge the reader's understanding of the materials covered.

An Introduction to Relativity - Jayant V. Narlikar


Links:





General relativity is now an essential part of undergraduate and graduate courses in physics, astrophysics and applied mathematics. This simple, user-friendly introduction to relativity is ideal for a first course in the subject. Beginning with a comprehensive but simple review of special relativity, the book creates a framework from which to launch the ideas of general relativity. After describing the basic theory, it moves on to describe important applications to astrophysics, black hole physics, and cosmology. Several worked examples, and numerous figures and images, help students appreciate the underlying concepts. There are also 180 exercises which test and develop students' understanding of the subject. The textbook presents all the necessary information and discussion for an elementary approach to relativity. Password-protected solutions to the exercises are available to instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521735612.
