Transformation Geometry: An Application of Physics.
Dunn, Ken A.
Mathematics Teacher, v77 n2 p129-34 Feb 1984
An application of transformation geometry to special relativity is described. No knowledge of physics is required, but the application uses transformation ideas in a nontrivial way. A comparison is given of reflections in the Euclidean and Minkowski (non-Euclidean) planes. (MNS)
