Description

This lecture covers the concepts of tensors, Lorentz transformations, and electrodynamics in relativistic notation. It explains the matrix notation for Lorentz transformations and the vector fields involved. The lecture also delves into covector fields, the space of vectors, and the symmetries and translations in electrodynamics.
