GR Dependencies

Ok so making some head way with this.  Like the Navier Stokes I need to figure out the dependencies as Einstein's GR is built upon the work of those who came before him.  For now, I will call them out.  I may need to study the work of these scientists shortly.

Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann (September 17, 1826 – July 20, 1866)

Manifolds / Geometry



Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro 12 January 1853 – 6 August 1925

Ricci Flow






Tullio Levi-Civita 29 March 1873 – 29 December 1941

Tensors



Elwin Bruno Christoffel (November 10, 1829 in Montjoie, now called Monschau – March 15, 1900 in Strasbourg)

Christoffel  Symbol
