The mathematics of Minkowski space-time : with an introduction to commutative hypercomplex numbers /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

Hyperbolic numbers are proposed for a rigorous geometric formalization of the space-time symmetry of two-dimensional Special Relativity. The system of hyperbolic numbers as a simple extension of the field of complex numbers is extensively studied in the book. In particular, an exhaustive solution of...
