| 1 | General Theory of Relativity from Basics | The purpose of this book is to provide the derivation of Einstein's Geometric Theory of Gravity starting from the basics. Through tensor analysis and differential forms we will derive the Bianchi identity, and, tie the conservation of energy-momentum to the "automatically" conserved feature of the geometry. | Sasan Ardalan, Ph.D. | September 2007 | PDF
