{"product_id":"9783110484571","title":"Minkowski Space : The Spacetime of the Special Relativity Theory (De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical Physics 40) (2017. VI, 123 S. 240 mm)","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\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\nFurther properties of Lorentz matrices\nFurther properties of Lorentz transformations\nDecomposition of Lorentz matrices and Lorentz transformations\nFurther structures on M\u003csup\u003es\u003c\/sup\u003e\nTangent vectors in M\u003csup\u003es\u003c\/sup\u003e\nOrientation\nKinematics on M\u003csup\u003es\u003c\/sup\u003e\nSome basic notions of relativistic theories \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eJoachim Schröter\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Paderborn, Germany. \u003cp\u003e\"Despite a few obvious typos, this excellent book has been produced to a high standard of accuracy and has been well-translated from German by Christian Pfeifer.\" \u003cem\u003eMAA Reviews\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48800077775083,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":269.16,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9783110484571-1.jpg?v=1781718735","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/zh\/products\/9783110484571","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
