Special relativity in a mathematical nutshell

The Galilean transformation with the Galilean relativity principle are generalized to Lorentz's simply by adding the principle of the constancy of the speed of light. Then, velocity addition, accel...

Derivation of the Lorentz transformation

Special relativity is usually restricted to two dimensions by with a velocity along the x axis such that the y and z coordinates do not intervene. As the Galilean transformation, the Lorentz transf...
