This lecture introduces the concept of four-vectors in space-time, focusing on the quadri-vector energy-momentum and its transformation when changing the frame of reference. It discusses the kinetic energy plus a specific term, the 'mass condition', and properties like energy conservation and the kinetic energy theorem in the context of relativistic dynamics.
