Simultaneously at the same point in space tantamount to understanding both special and general relativity demanded the creation of a new branch of higher mathematics called the absolute differential calculus of tensors. Tensors, spinors and differential forms are all subsumed by Login. This forms a three dimensional slice dx wide along the x. Differential Calculus Exercises With Solutions Language for Mathematics and Physics. The theory of General Relativity is constructed entirely around a perplexingly difficult form of math called “tensor calculus” (also known to mathematicians as Absolute Differential Calculus).

Tensors were first conceived by Tullio Levi-Civita and Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro, who continued the earlier work of Bernhard Riemann and Elwin Bruno Christoffel and others, as part of the absolute differential calculus. At the University of Padua (1891–95), he studied under Gregorio Ricci Curbastro, with whom he later collaborated in founding the absolute differential calculus (now known as tensor analysis). Topics covered include tensor algebra, Euclidean and symplectic vector spaces, differential manifolds, and absolute differential calculus. Spivak has discussed Riemann's lecture and now he is explaining Ricci's "absolute differential calculus", or "index gymnastics" style tensor calculus. Thus the art of the mathematician is not, as those who follow Comte believe, to state absolute truths but to choose a bunch of non contradictory axioms and to deploy rigorously their consequences.
