Introduction to Relativity

Description

This lecture introduces the principles of relativity, emphasizing the dependence of a material system's kinematics on the observer. It covers Newtonian mechanics, inertial reference frames, and action-reaction principles. The reformulation of Newton's principles in inertial coordinate systems is discussed, along with the description of kinematics for different observers.
