Beschreibung
This mathematically-oriented introduction takes the point of view that students should become familiar, at an early stage, with the physics of relativistic continua and thermodynamics within the framework of special relativity. Therefore, in addition to standard textbook topics such as relativistic kinematics and vacuum electrodynamics, the reader will be thoroughly introduced to relativistic continuum and fluid mechanics. Emphasis in the presentation is on the 3+1 splitting technique, widely used in general relativity for introducing the relative observers point of view.

From the reviews:
"The authors of this textbook present the foundations of special relativistic continuum dynamics in all details. In this form, the presentation is quite unique, as almost all other texts on relativistic continuum mechanics do it on the level of general relativity. … The whole presentation is very clearly done, and has enough details, so that it can be used for a university teaching course on this topic." (Hans-Jürgen Schmidt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1124 (4), 2008)
