    The authors give an elementary proof of the theorem that every rational formal group law over an algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic zero is of the form \(L^{-1}G(L(x)\), \(L(y))\) where \(G(x,y)\) is either \(x+y\) or \(x+y+xy\) and \(L\) is a linear functional transformation over \(K\) such that \(L(0)=0\). The authors derive a description of all rational formal group laws over fields of characteristic zero.
