PHYS 200 - Fundamentals of Physics I
Lecture 15 - Four-Vector in Relativity. The discussion of four-vector in relativity continues but this time the focus is on the energy-momentum of a particle. The invariance of the energy-momentum four-vector is due to the fact that rest mass of a particle is invariant under coordinate transformations. (from oyc.yale.edu)
