This lecture covers the equation of motion for a relativistic charged particle, Lorentz transformations, system of units, main physical quantities, fundamental constants of Nature, charged particle in an external EM field, 4-vector potential, Lorentz force, tensors, and electrodynamics. The instructor discusses the energy-momentum tensor, matrix notation, and the constant matrix defining Lorentz transformations.
