It introduces the notion of vectors into analytic hyperbolic geometry, where they are called <i>gyrovectors</i>. Newtonian velocity addition is the common vector addition, which is both commutative and associative. The resulting vector spaces, in turn, form the algebraic setting for the standard model of Euclidean geometry. In full analogy, Einsteinian velocity addition is a gyrovector addition, which is both Special relativity (Physics)Geometry, HyperbolicSpecial relativity (Physics)Geometry, Hyperbolic.516.9Ungar Abraham A850286MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825818303321Analytic hyperbolic geometry and Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity4104997UNINA
