How did you find PF?

Google search for Schaum's Tensor Calculus.

I got to this thread: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/complete-set-of-answers-to-schaums-tensor-calculus.346972/ but it is locked, otherwise I would have added to it.

I'm now retired, was a software engineer but I studied maths and physics at University. I'd like to get what might be called a spectator's understanding of GR, hence the tensor calculus. The above thread is very reassuring, as I also seem to see errors in the text of the referenced book.

You could take a look at Gravity by James Hartle. It's perhaps the most accessible introduction to GR.
