Einstein for Algebra 2
Wednesday August 13, 2025 9:30am - 12:00pm PDT
In 1905, while working as a clerk in a Swiss patent office, Albert Einstein revolutionized the world of physics by introducing a new theory of space and time: Special Relativity. Surprisingly, much of the mathematics associated with Special Relativity is accessible to students with a strong background in algebra. This class will explore the Lorentz Transformation and some of the unusual consequences of Special Relativity including time dilation and length contraction using fundamental techniques of algebra.
