Einsteins first derivation of the Lorentz transformation (LT) in the 1905 seminal paper was based on the relativity principle and the assumed constancy of the speed of light in all inertial frames (the second postulate) [1, 2].The original presentation was very difficult to understand for many readers, so most textbooks on special relativity did not endstream
