Physics Asked by Dirac on September 19, 2020
I’m looking for William Burke and Peter Scott’s Special Relativity notes. They are very useful as they use a novel approach to space-time diagrams. I used them long ago, but I cannot find them online anymore. The only references I found are these
http://physics.ucsc.edu/~drip/SRT/intro.pdf
http://physics.ucsc.edu/people/faculty/scott.html
https://scott.physics.ucsc.edu/
Does anyone have any information or link?
@Dirac , presumably, you visited the parent directory http://physics.ucsc.edu/~drip/SRT to see drafts of seven chapters.
If you receive any updates, please add to your post. ( [Fingers crossed] I had emailed Prof. Scott back in 2015 and got a similar response. )
Here is another place that references "Special Relativity Primer" http://pages.erau.edu/~reynodb2/ps250/ElementaryParticles_Relativity.pdf
(As you may know, Burke's "Applied Differential Geometry" and "Space-Time, Geometry, Cosmology" discuss aspects of relativity... but I'm not sure how these align with "Special Relativity Primer". There are also materials on his archived website: http://www.ucolick.org/~burke/home.html http://www.ucolick.org/~burke/ )

OK, I just finished updating the original version (from the 1970s!) of the Special Relativity Primer, so there is now a draft version available at https://scott.physics.ucsc.edu/pdf/primer.pdf
Please check it out and let me know if you find errors or have suggestions for improvements.
