However, by simple arguments and linear algebra, the result for the Wigner rotation is obtained straightforwardly, leading to a formula written in a manageable form, The result is exemplified in the context of the aberration of light.8 pages,no figurePhysics EducationGeneral PhysicsGeneric composition of boosts: an elementary derivation of the Wigner rotationtext
