    :confused: derivating a from v (lorentz transform)

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    v'=(v-u)/(1-vu/c^2), then dv'=? is it (dv-u)/(1-udv/c^2)?

    What exactly are u, v, v'. Not values- what do they mean?

    I am not sure if the original function makes sense since dv/du=-fu/fv which is the drivative rule for implicit functions but this equation it doesn't work
