contents The lorentz group, a galilean approach D. E. Jaramillo N. Vanegas Física, Astronomía y Matemáticas Special relativity Lorentz transformations We present a pedagogical approach to the Lorentz group. We start by introducing a compact notation to express the elements of the fundamentalrepresentation of the rotations group. Lorentz coordinate transformations are derived in a novel and compact form. We showhow to make a Lorentz transformation on the electromagnetic fields as well. A covariant time-derivative is introduced in order to deal withnon-inertial systems. Examples of the usefulness of these results such as the rotating system and the Thomas precession, are also presented. 2004 artículo científico 0035-001X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=57063105 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=570 Revista Mexicana de Física application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Física A.C.
