The goal of this lecture is to introduce the student to the theory of Special Relativity. Not to overload the content with mathematics, the author will stick to the simplest cases; in particular only reference frames using Cartesian coordinates and translating along the common x-axis as in Fig. 1 will be used. The general expressions will be quoted or may be found in the cited literature.
