Introduction to Tensor Calculus for General Relativity

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Department of Physics Physics Spring 1999. Introduction to Tensor Calculus for General Relativity c 1999 Edmund Bertschinger. All rights reserved. 1 Introduction There are three essential ideas underlying General Relativity (GR). The first is that space- time may be described as a curved, four-dimensional mathematical structure called a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. In brief, time and space together comprise a curved four- dimensional non-Euclidean geometry. Consequently, the practitioner of GR must be familiar with the fundamental geometrical properties of curved spacetime.
