I really love seeing derivations of the EFE's, Maxwell's equations, Schrodinger equation etc.
I have seen a number of derivations of Maxwell's Equations but this is the shortest, most illuminating and best I have come across - it basically just uses covarience - and as it says - a little bit more:
http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0143-0807/36/6/065036/pdf
Brings up a number of interesting points such as there are a number of different but really equivalent forms of EM, how Magnetic monopoles fits in etc. Hope everyone finds it as interesting as I did.
Oh - does anyone really feel like doing the full detail of the proof in the appendix
Thanks
Bill
