    Most frequently the Lorentz transformations are dealt with in their particular form when the relative velocity \(\nu\) lies along the \(Ox= O'x'\) axes, and there is no mutual rotation of the two frames of reference. The aim of this methodological note is to complete some older books with respect to the general form of these transformations, when \(\nu\) is arbitrary and spatial rotations take place, by producing simpler and rigorous proofs.
