{"product_id":"9783110484571","title":"Minkowski Space: The Spacetime of Special Relativity","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Minkowski-Space the space-time of special relativity is discussed on the basis of fundamental results of space-time theory. 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\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\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":47064251334896,"sku":"9783110484571","price":103.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9783110484571_p0.jpg?v=1763718115","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9783110484571","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
