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.
Thanks for helping me understand the Special Theory of Relativity, covered a lot of ground but repeated it so it really could sink in. Like your style and want to thank you for your assistance. Thanks

•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.

•a very thorough introduction to special relativity, as a layman, I have gained immense insight & basic understanding. Thanks prof Lagerstrom!!!!
par 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
par 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.
par 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
par 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.
par Lee H
•Well taught and structured course, gives a more quantitative understanding of some of the outcomes.
par Kiran K
•Good course for introduction to special relativity. I expected more related to E=mc^2 derivation.
par Víctor P V
•This course is superb, covers easyly all the aspects of the special theory of relativity
par Nicholas C
•A leisurely and enjoyable introduction to the Special Theory.
par Callum B
•Really good to get a grasp of what relativity is all about

•This course is just okay. The professor seemed nice and explained the concepts well. However it takes a painstaking long hours just to proceed to the next material(if you aren’t skipping stuff) as he just keeps over-explaining. The problems are far too easy , if you want to do relativity from a quantitative standpoint. Also,my biggest complaint is the introduction, which lasts for about 3 hours. And it takes around middle of the 2nd week to get started. I get it, make haste slow, but not to a crawl.

•Rather easy questions and not many difficult ones even in the optional exercises.
par Devika M
•It was a very informative and interesting course.
