In my general relativity class my professor derived the form of the Kruskal-Szekeres form of the Schwarzschild metric using several formulas without actually going through the algebra. I am trying to prove the answer using these formulas but I am having some trouble, especially using the Lambert W. function. In the file I have attached, you can see that equation (9) is the final result from the changes made in the previous equations. In my attempt I tried taking the derivative of the equation for 'r' and arrived at what I have shown below. However, when subbing this in and working with this I don't feel I am making progress. Any assistance is greatly appreciated, thanks.
[itex]dr=2m\frac{dL}{dz}dz[/itex]
where [itex]z=\frac{-uv}{e}[/itex]
