I read only the special relativity part, but this was one of the best presentations I have seen. Mr. Resnick keeps straight to the actual math and physics but in a way that is easy to understand.
He avoids gimmicks like Minkowski space-time diagrams, that add nothing to one's understanding of the subject, but gives one the impression that she knows a lot.
