1. An Alternate Transformation Matrix

The components of the transformation matrix as sited in Eq. (15) of "Additions: June 1, 1999" on this web site should be

where

and

since the previous components do not form an orthogonal matrix. The components in Eq. (1) above, however, do form an orthogonal matrix and are already the components of a four-vector. For these reasons, the matrix in Eq. (1) above is preferable to in Eq. (15) of "Additions: June 1, 1999".
