Rest mass
In special relativity, rest mass is an obsolete term used to describe what is today simply referred to as mass. Relativistic mass[?] mr (formerly called "mass", but now called energy) increases with velocity (v), and the rest mass m is the inertial mass at v=0, which corresponds to the classical notion of mass.When an object is travelling at a velocity v relatively to an inertial reference frame, then the relativistic mass increases according to:
- <math>m_r = \gamma m</math>
- <math>\gamma = {1 \over {\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2}}}</math>
It should be noted that the rest mass is one of the invariant scalar quantities of special relativity.
The terms rest mass and relativistic mass can be still be found in elementary textbooks and popularisations of relativity, but their use is depreciated in graduate-level physics.

A howl,
Sent by a Young Gentleman of Quality to Miss Br-dy, of Castle
On Brady's tower there grows a flower,
At Castle Brady there lives a lady,
Her name is Nora, and the goddess Flora
"I've many a rich and bright parterre;
But you're the fairest lady there:
Can projuice a treasure that's half so fair!"
What cheek is redder? sure roses fed her!
Beneath her eyelid, is like the vi'let,
The lily's nature is not surely whiter
My dearest creature, take my advice,
Who spends his lifetime in heavy sighs,--
If rhyme and raisin you'd choose likewise."
