The mathematics of general relativity is a complex framework primarily based on differential geometry and the theory of manifolds. General relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, is a theory of gravitation that describes the gravitational force as a curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. Here are some of the key mathematical concepts involved: 1. **Manifolds**: The spacetime in general relativity is modeled as a four-dimensional smooth manifold.
