I am challenged with higher math than grade 12,but I still can 
use equations to figure things out. Sure the fine details can be 
complex and approximations used, but difficulty is often the 
teacher not the student in higher learning. 

SR is based on two things:
 1) The speed of light is constant for who ever measures it.
 2) The right triangle formed by two people measuring the same light
beam. 

Autodynamics (AD) Is just based on the speed of light is a constant.
