Abstract: This paper introduces the approaches of quantitative calculation using the Minkowski

time-space di- agram in special relativity. Formulas are derived for velocity addition,light

Doppler effect,aberration of light and so on.

Key words: special relativity, time-space diagram, Doppler effect, aberration of light
