I am reading Einstein's original paper and trying to understand his work. I am an engineer, not a physicist, and the math in special relativity is not overly complicated, but I cannot duplicate one of his steps. He does leave out all the steps in his work.
This should be a simple differential of a parametric function, but I am missing something. My advanced calculus was 30 years ago, but I think (thought) I still have a reasonable grasp. A function tau of x' and t, where x' is itself a function of t.
Thanks
