Angles and Speeds
(Lecture: 20 minutes)
- Interpret hyperbolic trig functions as speed (and gamma)
- Addition formula
- Lorentz transformations
Reflections
This lecture finally relates hyperbolic trig to velocity, showing that Lorentz transformations are nothing more than hyperbolic rotations — and the Einstein addition formula is nothing more than the addition formula for hyperbolic trig functions.
