Special Theory of Relativity (Part 1) - a Course for the 'Inquisitive' Layman

The following slides present my course on Einstein's theory of special relativity. The slides, unfortunately, do not show animations; and my commentary, which goes with a presentation of this type, is missing. However, I hope that I have been able to treat the subject in a way, without using advanced mathematics, that coveys the essential excitement and principles of Einstein's work.
