Description The subject of this book is the Mechanics of Lorentz Transformations which is commonly investigated under the title of special relativity theory.
The book can be used as a guiding text or as a reference for a first course on the Mechanics of Lorentz Transformations or as part of a course on modern physics or tensor calculus or even special relativity..
Cross referencing is used extensively where these cross references are hyperlinked in the digital versions.
A rather thorough index is also added to the book to enable keyword search and provide a useful list for the main technical terms of this subject.
The book also contains a number of high quality graphic illustrations.
The book includes many solved problems as well as extensive sets of exercises whose solutions are available in another book.
The book originates from a collection of personal notes and tutorials about topics and applications related to modern physics and tensor calculus.
However, we also investigate special relativity thoroughly as a possible interpretation of the Mechanics of Lorentz transformations.
The motive for setting the subject of investigation as Lorentz Transformations instead of special relativity is objectivity.
