Abstract Details

2008, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, Mathematics.
General relativity is widely applicable to many areas of current physics research. Some ‘math first’ treatments of the subject employ differential forms while others do not. This paper advocates those approaches that utilize differential forms by first outlining some of the general mathematical advantages of forms and then by comparing developments of selected topics from the different treatments.
