Abstract
A method is given for obtaining relativistic wave equations in matrix form for particles with higher spins. Values are given for the constants of the βv matrices, the matrix of the inversion operator, and the scalar matrix which enters into the expression of the current for particles with spin 0, 1/2, 1, 3/2, or 2.
