An Elementary Formalism for General Relativity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
diSessa, Andrea A. – American Journal of Physics, 1981
An elementary formalism is developed for representing curved space-time which allows transparent qualitative explanation of general relativistic effects and is used to make a conceptual analysis of Einstein's principle of equivalence. A final section outlines a number of student activities. (Author/SK)
