What is Lorentz Transformation Derivation about?

Two successive Lorentz transformations in the same direction are equivalent to a single Lorentz transformation with a velocity equal to the sum of the individual velocities plus a relativistic velocity addition term. This document shows the mathematical derivation of this result by applying one Lorentz transformation to the variables transformed by another. The coefficients of the composite transformation are shown to match those of a single transformation with velocity v=v1+v2+(v1v2/c2).
