Course Description

Overview

Explore the fascinating world of relativistic geometry in one dimension through this 31-minute video lecture. Delve into Einstein's special theory of relativity and its impact on pure mathematics, focusing on the projective line. Discover key concepts like null points, which correspond to photon trajectories in space-time. Learn about relativistic quadrants, perpendicularity, and rotations in this context. Gain insights into the algebraic approach required for understanding this expanded geometrical framework. Engage with exercises to reinforce your understanding of these concepts, including Fibonacci's identity and its relevance to relativistic geometry.
