Hey there,
Does anyone know a book that consequently uses coordinate-free expressions to develop general relativity? I've been looking for something for some time now, but everything I could find just briefly introduced the reader to concepts like exterior algebra, only to (almost) never use the concept again in the rest of the book (example: Einstein's general theory of relativity by Grøn and Hervik).
(I'd really love to see Einstein's field equations compressed to something small yet powerful like it's been done with Maxwell's equations, [itex]\mathrm dF=0\,;[/itex] [itex]\mathrm d*F=4 \pi S[/itex])
Thanks in advance,
David
