The Doppler Shift Equation For An Accelerating Frame of Reference

The exact equation for the Doppler shift in a uniformly accelerating rocket is derived in two different ways. The first method depends on a functional equation and Einsteins approximation. The second approach is a direct application of several familiar equations in the relativity of uniformly accelerated motion.
