title says it all. I've heard these two phrases.
Lorentz invariant: Equation (Lagrangian, or ...?) takes same form under lorentz transforms.
Lorentz covariant: Equation is in covariant form.
I'm don't think I know what I mean when I say the latter. Can someone elucidate the difference between these two. Is there some necessary/sufficient condition that relates the two.
Thanks for your help!
