About the Course
Top reviews
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.
This course is very comprehensive and well prepared material for understanding the Special Theory of Relativity. Larry (the instructor) is very expert and has broad knowledge in explaining the course.

•I loved the course. I gained a lot from this. Want to learn more mathematics and wish could learn General theory from the same team. Thank you soo much. Great work.

•Quite hard work - the topic is not intuitive, and the questions teem with the possibility of going wrong - badly wrong.
Effort is required, and is paid-back.
By Ritvik A
•It's a good course to start understanding Relativistic Physics. Nothing rigorous though.
The lectures are amazingly easy to understand. Overall liked it.
By luis a g s
•I think a chapter on momentum and energy conservation would be interesting, I liked the examples and the treatment of the paradoxes, very good course.
By hei c
•a very thorough introduction to special relativity, as a layman, I have gained immense insight & basic understanding. Thanks prof Lagerstrom!!!!
By Krish R
•The course was really good. But the discussion forum was not pleasant. Due to the unruly behaviour of this person named Thomas Lahn
By Gary S
•Mr Lagerstrom has explained a difficult topic in a very understandable way. He is a true teacher, not just a lecturer. Thank you.
By Christophe N
•Nice course with very clear explanations! Too bad that I had to wait for week 4 to really start the core of special relativity
By Vertika S
•Excellent Prof , Excellent Resources. My only drawback is that prof is a bit excessive repetitive, rest everything is fine.

•A very interesting course simplified to an under graduate level. it helps in understanding relativity in perspective.
By Lee H
•Well taught and structured course, gives a more quantitative understanding of some of the outcomes.
By Kiran K
•Good course for introduction to special relativity. I expected more related to E=mc^2 derivation.
By Víctor P V
•This course is superb, covers easyly all the aspects of the special theory of relativity
By Nicholas C
•A leisurely and enjoyable introduction to the Special Theory.
By Callum B
•Really good to get a grasp of what relativity is all about
