in sentence {11}, he says to set t'=0, which results in the equation under sentence eleven.
He then uses this equation to transform a point in x to a point in x':
x=0 => x'=0
x=1 => x'=a(1-v^2/c^2)

thus

delta_x => delta_x'=a(1-v^/c^2)

By the way, how Englishy is this project going to be? From what I understand of general relativity, it's hard. Really hard. Unless you already have a background in tensor math, I think it will be much more difficult to follow the derivation than special relativity
