A study of electrodynamics of moving media

This study contains a digest of Minkowski's theory of electrodynamics of moving media in the three-dimensional form and a critical review of some current writings on this subject from the point of view of Minkowski's theory. The invariant nature of the Maxwell-Minkowski equations is explained in terms of a conventional language. The important role played by the constitutive relations in formulating a complete theory of electrodynamics of moving media is pointed out.
