Abstract
A method of teaching of one of the divisions of electrodynamics devoted to relativity theory is suggested. The presentation is based on the four-dimensional formalism, which allows a number of fundamental physical phenomena to be considered from a unified position. The content is in full conformity with the approved standard programs for students and postgraduates of radio physical and radio technical specialities of universities. The methods can be useful to the teachers, scientific workers, and engineers concerned with other directions and specialities.
