Relativistic Frames of Reference

From the Galilean description of motion for a frame of reference moving relative to another frame considered stationary we know that

[math]\displaystyle{ t \equal t' }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ x=x' }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ y=y' }[/math] [math]\displaystyle{ z=z'+vt }[/math]
