: The starting point for the theory, establishing that gravity and acceleration are locally indistinguishable.

Leonard Susskind’s approach to General Relativity (GR) in The Theoretical Minimum is distinct from traditional textbooks. Rather than starting with the obscure history of the equivalence principle or the bending of light, Susskind and Cabannes focus immediately on the mathematical machinery required to describe gravity: and Tensor Calculus .

Theory is useless without solution. The book concludes by solving the field equations for the simplest non-trivial case: a spherically symmetric mass (like a star or a black hole) in a vacuum.
