This idea has the consequence that the Minkowski-space can be characterized by 5 axioms, which determine its geometrical and kinematical structure completely. In this sense Minkowski-Space is a prolegomenon for the formulation of other branches of special relativity, like mechanics, electrodynamics, thermodynamics etc. But these applications are not subjects of this book. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBasic properties of special relativity\u003cbr\u003eFurther properties of Lorentz matrices\u003cbr\u003eFurther properties of Lorentz transformations\u003cbr\u003eDecomposition of Lorentz matrices and Lorentz transformations\u003cbr\u003eFurther structures on M\u003csup\u003es\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTangent vectors in M\u003csup\u003es\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrientation\u003cbr\u003eKinematics on M\u003csup\u003es\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome basic notions of relativistic theories \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53516541329751,"sku":"9783110484571","price":93.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/minkowski-space-the-spacetime-of-special-relativity-9783110484571","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
