| Abstract: | In deductions of Lorentz transformations of the special theory of relativity, linearity of transformation is always postulated. There are only a few discussions about this linearity in which it is deduced from some basic physical facts. Here, it is shown to be almost a mathematical consequence of the principle of relativity. |
