Lorentz Transformations with Special Relativity Derivation

Devin · Aug 6, 2015

Any advice on my derivation layout?

I think the postulates of special relativity at the beginning of the article are due to Einstein, although the transformations are from Lorentz, developed as a part of ether theory.

The Lorentz equations are contingent upon the postulates. Without them, there are no equations.
