This document (now complete) contains summaries of the material covered in each section of this course, along with HTML versions of the examples sheets. These summaries should not be regarded as substitutes for a good textbook or even for your lecture notes. Note that new pages may be added and existing pages may be revised and updated from time to time.
The summary pages can be reached via the contents page which in turn is linked to contents pages for each chapter of the course.
An alternative route to the summary pages is provided by the weekly plan which lists the material to be covered in each week along with the examples based on it.
The examples sheets can also be reached directly. This includes the 1999 and 2000 exam papers.
The summary pages also provide links to relevant material elsewhere on the web. More general web sources for information related to the topics covered in this course are listed on the resources page.
Each summary page contains a navigation panel of the form
This contains links Up to the chapter contents page and the relevant point in the weekly plan, as well as to the course home page (Home). The Help link takes you to this page. The Next and Previous links allow you to follow the sections in sequence.Home: PC 1672 home page | Up: 1 Relativity | Weekly plan | Help: Guide to using this document |
Next: 1.4 Space-time 4-vectors | Previous: 1.2 Lorentz transformations |
The top page of each examples sheet also contains a similar navigation panel. Within the examples sheets, the navigation panels on the question pages look a bit different, but they always contain a link Up to the top page of the sheet.
All of the main pages are listed in the site map.Parts of this document were prepared using the LaTeX2HTML translator Version 98.1p1, developed by Nikos Drakos, Computer Based Learning Unit, University of Leeds. This renders formulae as numerous little GIF files, which may make some pages slow to download. However until a new generation of Web browsers is capable of handling MML, this seems to be the best available way to deliver mathematical formulae over the Web.
