What Can You Learn from Articles in the American Journal of Physics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around Richard H. Price's "General relativity primer," published in the American Journal of Physics, which is noted for being supported by a National Science Foundation grant. The original poster expresses enthusiasm for the article and seeks similar educational resources within the AJP series. They request links to other articles of this nature and inquire about the reference to the first article in the series. A link to the primer is provided, but there is a lack of responses regarding other articles or the first reference, indicating limited engagement on those specific queries.

Howdy Ppl,

If you have seen the General relativity primer by Richard H. Price, published in American Journal of Physics, Vol. 50, p.300, at the top you will see it says:

Editor's Note:
This review article, the second in the series, is made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.


Its an awesome article to learn from and the above comment suggests that there are others of the kind :DDD If you know of any such article in AJP, or can find one, please post the link here. Thanks.

Sorry mods, I mistakenly posted this in the wrong forum. Please transfer it to the Learning Materials forum.
 
Does anybody knwo the reference to the first articel in the series?
 
@Goldbeetle: here's the link to the article:

http://scitation.aip.org/vsearch/servlet/VerityServlet?KEY=AJPIAS&CURRENT=NO&ONLINE=YES&smode=strresults&sort=rel&maxdisp=25&threshold=0&pjournals=AJPIAS&pyears=2001%2C2000%2C1999&possible1=general+relativity&possible1zone=article&SMODE=strsearch&OUTLOG=NO&viewabs=AJPIAS&key=DISPLAY&docID=13&page=1&chapter=0

So nobody knows any other such article??

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
