    From one space dimension to two space dimensions in special relativity

    Consider that you have derived the Lorentz transformations in one space diomensions x=g(x'+Vt') t=g(t'+Vx'/c^2). In order to extend the problem to two space dimensions many Authors add y=y'. Please tell me if that is the best approach. Thanks.
