coordinate transformation
subject			fact

coordinate transformation	is a kind of transformation
	has definition Method of relating observations from one frame of reference to another.

Kinds of coordinate transformation :

• Galilean transformation (2 facts) - The non-relativistic method of relating observations from one frame of reference to another.
• Lorentz transformation (3 facts) - The transformation which keeps the speed of light invariant between relativistic frames of reference., A transformation which enables one to relate the physical parameters describing an object when viewed in one frame of reference to those which are appropriate to an observer moving with a uniform velocity in that frame.
