Undergrad Confusion about index notation and operations of GR
Thank you so much! This makes a lot more sense. I picked up a copy of "Gravitation" a couple days ago to use but I haven't looked through it enough. So far, everything you've said makes sense except the gradient ##\nabla_a## being subscripted. I don't understand the whole convention that...- Put1demerde

Hello, I am an undergrad currently trying to understand General Relativity. I am reading Sean Carroll's Spacetime and Geometry and I understand the physics (to a certain degree) but I am having trouble understanding the notation used as well as the ideas for tensors, dual vectors and the...- Put1demerde
