Nothing but Relativity «
http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/physics/pdf/0302/0302045v1.pdf | | There are many ways to derive the lorentz transformation without invoking einstein's constancy of light postulate. the path preferred in this paper restates a simple , established approach. |
One More Derivation of the Lorentz Transformation «
