Site History

This site grew out of the enthusiasm of undergraduates at CU to learn about Relativity. I remember in particular my first APAS 1040 “Accelerated Introductory Astronomy 2” class in Spring 1993, the students of which (led by Stephanie) made me discard my original syllabus so that they could do Special Relativity.
