Struggling with General Relativity Calculations?

How did you find PF?
I found this by Googling Physics Help Forums
I’ve been self studying some of the concepts related to General Relativity, by trying to model Geodesics and calculate distances on curved surfaces. I found that I seem to understand some of the concepts related to the math, but not others as when I try to make some calculations I find that my calculations contradict those of other sources, and so I decided to join to seek help with some of the mathematics.
