It was wonderful experience to know the special theory of relativity from Larry, who has presented the course in very simple way to understand. Thanks a lot to Larry for providing such a good session.

Almost anyone can learn about the special theory of relativity from these lectures. I actually can't believe that I studied from a professor who teaches in the USA and in so simple way. I am grateful.

Excellent from start to end. Maths level required is very basic and still possible to understand only with words a lot of things that would seem complicated before!

Provided a very beautiful insight into non-intuitive concepts and the struggle to understand the marvelous structure of reality was indeed an ennobling experience!

Me ha servido mucho.
He comprendido de que se trata cuando hablamos de Relatividad Especial
De como llegamos a las paradojas y como salimos de ellas
Gracias Profesor

A great course for beginners. While it does not cover a large number of topics, the ones it does, it tries to do slowly, thoroughly and with clarity of thought.
