[Phys-l] Relativistic Mass or lack thereof in intro books



I just received a copy of the 3rd edition of Randall Knight's Physics for Scientists and Engineers - with modern physics

And was pleased to see that he eschews relativistic mass.

i.e. his momentum for a particle is

P = m *(Delta x over Delta Tau) =gamma*m*u
