+ + + +This past week we've been covering generic operators in 6.945, which is great +because it's a set of questions I'm just getting around to. What are the +important data-types/-structures/objects in general relativity, what are the +important operators and procedures, and what are their arities and +applicabilities? + +Here are some potential object types (I'm using "object" in a general sense, +not with the usual CS implications): +

+ +Some basic operators: + + +Some tests: + + +Some more specific operators: + + +And some tools: + + +
+ +Turns out I wasn't using the latest version of scmutils and that's why a bunch +of calculus functionality was missing... whoops! + +
+ +Time is tick ticking away but I feel that things are starting to fall together, +doing problem sets for my GR class is super valuable, I wish i'd done more +practice exercises before to test myself. But overall I feel pretty +mathematically prepared. +
+Over the weekend I went back and tried to review some topics from topology like +Baire dimension theory, embedding, and the fundamental group. I never really +covered these topics when I studies topology before, so I wasn't able to gleam +any insight. + +
