Re: active learning for special relativity

[Leigh Palmer <palmer@SFU.CA>]

His nom de plume is J. Terrell, and he was at Los Alamos in 1959.
The article is (I think*) J. Terrell, Physical Review 116, 1041
(1959), though I thought it was later than that. There is another
Terrell paper worth looking at on the clock paradox: J. Terrell,
Il Nuovo Cimento, May 1960, pp 457-468.
