How Do You Derive the Geodesic Equation?
[b]1. A straight line in flat space may be defined by the equation: (when I use the ^ symbol in this case it means like upper subscript not to the power) (U^v)(d/dx^v)(U^u)=0 (U^u=dx^u/ds) derive the geodesic equation. Please help I'm completely clueless all I can really see to do...- PhysicistFTW
