Hi.
In class, the professor has tried to derive the equation by using the principle of least-action. (But not yet completed. Maybe next class...)
However I heard this method is used by Hilbert, who had derived the equation 5 days before Einstein derived it.
Then, what method did Einstein use to derive the gravitational field equation?
And why did Einstein choose to use Riemann geometry ?
