Calculus; BibliographyThe Geometry of Special Relativity provides an introduction to special relativity that encourages readers to see beyond the formulas to the deeper geometric structure. The text treats the geometry of hyperbolas as the key to understanding special relativity. This approach replaces the ubiquitous I symbol of most standard treatments with the appropriate hyperbolic trigonometric functions. In most cases, this not only simplifies the appearance of the formulas, but also emphasizes their geometric content in such a way as to make them almost obvious. Furthermore, many important relations, includinSpecial relativity (Physics)Space and timeMathematical modelsElectronic books.Special relativity (Physics)Space and timeMathematical models.530.11Dray Tevian.961438MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910453025403321The geometry of special relativity2179666UNINA
