Abstract
A proper relativistic theory has to be Lorentz-covariant, i.e. its form has to be invariant under a transition from one inertial system to another one. To establish this we will first restate the essentials of Lorentz transformations and also refer to Chap. 14 for supporting group theoretical arguments.
