Abstract
In Chapter 2, vectors, the elements of ν, were introduced and used to discuss many kinematical problems. The kinematical applications followed immediately from the original definition of vectors as a class of displacements in spacetime. In Chapter 3 the very slightly more general space of vectors was used to consider particle momentum.
