Special Relativity:

Commutative Hypercomplex Special Relativity

Einstein's special relativity is formulated in terms of 4-D commutative hypercomplex mathematics. The traditional results are obtained, but some additional effects are suggested.

Derivation of the Lorentz Transformation

This derivation uses the group property of the Lorentz transformations, which means that a combination of two Lorentz transformations also belongs to the class Lorentz transformations. [PDF]

A Derivation of the Lorentz Transformation From a Simple Definition of Time

The fundamental equations of special relativity are derived with only high school algebra and toy universes consisting of moving rulers. [PDF]

The Doppler Shift Equation For An Accelerating Frame of Reference

The exact equation for the Doppler shift in a uniformly accelerating rocket is derived in two different ways. The first method depends on a functional equation and Einstein’s approximation. The second approach is a direct application of several familiar equations in the relativity of uniformly accelerated motion.
