A simple derivation of E = mc2
Peter M. Brown
Abstract
Einstein's 1905 derivation of E = mc2 has been criticized for being circular. Although such criticisms have been challenged it is certainly true that the reasoning in Einstein's original derivation is not at all obvious. Einstein's original derivation could have been made clearer. This article describes a clear way of doing so.
