    In this video:

    at 2.48 the uploader says, "I won't bore you with the details".

    I'd appreciate is someone would please "bore" me with the details, as I'm struggling to do the algebra which he has not shown here in order to go to the next line.

    Though notice in the comments there's a slight error in what he has written.

    I'm getting;

    L' equal to

    [L(c-v)(c+v)] / [c^2 * (1-v^2/c^2)^0.5]

    Actually, I think I'm sorted now with regards to this derivation!
