INTRODUCTION TO GENERAL RELATIVITY
We now have formulated the theory of Special Relativity in such a way that it has be-come very easy to check if some suspect Law of Nature actually obeys Lorentz invariance. Left- and right hand side of an equation must transform the same way, and this is guar-anteed if they are written as vectors or tensors with Lorentz indices always transforming

webspace.science.uu.nlForming, storming, norming and performing – developmental sequence in groups Even a quick glance at the literature of group development reveals a wide range of theoretical models concerning developmental processes. Most commentators assume that groups go through a number of phases or stages if Bruce W. Tuckman – forming, storming norming and
