Hi Guys,
I've attached 2 pages from the book of landau "The Classical Theory of fields", I have a question about the lorentz transformations in pages 10,11
after reaching the step:
tanh(psy)= V/c
How did he split the latter into sinh(psy) and cosh(psy) and added the "gamma" constant which is 1/sqrt(1-V^2/c^2) ?
Can we add any constant we want? of course there is a reason
anyone can explain?
I know the Einsteins way of concluding these transformations but I want to understand the rotation of axes method
thanks in advance, please reply as soon as possible :)
