	Einstein notation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, especially in applications of linear algebra to physics, the Einstein notation or Einstein summation convention is a notational convention useful when dealing with coordinate formulae.
		Abstract index notation is an improvement of Einstein notation.
		In Einstein notation, an index that is repeated twice in an equation implies a summation, and the summation symbol need not be included.

		Einstein divorced Mileva on February 14, 1919, and married his cousin Elsa Löwenthal (born Einstein: Löwenthal was the surname of her first husband, Max) on June 2, 1919.
		Einstein also assisted Erwin Schrödinger in the development of the quantum Boltzmann distribution, a mixed classical and quantum mechanical gas model although he realized that this was less significant than the Bose-Einstein model and declined to have his name included on the paper.
		Einstein began to form a generalized theory of gravitation with the Universal Law of Gravitation and the electromagnetic force in his first attempt to demonstrate the unification and simplification of the fundamental forces.

		Later, Einstein’s general theory of relativity (1915) extended special relativity to accelerated systems and showed gravity to be an effect of acceleration.
		Einstein’s discovery of relativity depended on studying objects in four dimensions, with time as the fourth dimension.
		Einstein hoped that a unified field theory could be found, and he worked on this project from 1928 until his death in 1955.

		In physics, the Einstein field equation or Einstein equation is a differential equation in Einsteins theory of general relativity.
		It is usually referred to in the literature as an Einstein ring, since Chwolson did not concern himself with the flux or radius of the ring image.
		Einstein realized that it was also possible for astronomical objects to bend light, and that under the correct conditions, one would observe multiple images of a single source, called a gravitational lens or sometimes a gravitational mirage.

	Tensor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The notation was developed around 1890 by Gregorio Ricci-Curbastro under the title absolute differential calculus, and was made accessible to many mathematicians by the publication of Tullio Levi-Civita's 1900 classic text of the same name (in Italian; translations followed).
		In the 20th century, the subject came to be known as tensor analysis, and achieved broader acceptance with the introduction of Einstein's theory of general relativity, around 1915.
		A tensor may be expressed as the sequence of values represented by a function with a vector valued domain and a scalar valued range.

	Re: Teleparallelism; Einstein
		Einstein was dismayed and realized he owed some debt to Cartan, and he suggested some possibilities.
		In Einstein's letter to Cartan, Einstein also said: "I didn't at all understand the explanations you gave me in Paris; still less was it clear to me how they might be made useful for physical theory.
		Einstein was an outstanding man. This whole Cartan relationship is discussed by Michel Biezunski in his article "Inside the Coconut: The Einstein-Cartan Discussion on Distant Parallelism," in _Einstein and the History of General Relativity_, Edited by D. Howard and J. Stachel.

	Summation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Here, i represents the index of summation; m is the lower bound of summation, and n is the upper bound of summation.
		One often sees generalizations of this notation in which an arbitrary logical condition is supplied, and the sum is intended to be taken over all values satisfying the condition.
		These degenerate cases are usually only used when the summation notation gives a degenerate result in a special case.

	Why is c the symbol for the speed of light?
		By 1907 when Einstein switched from V to c in his papers, it had become the standard symbol for the speed of light in vacuum for electrodynamics, optics, thermodynamics and relativity.
		That was written in the United States, but the same notation was also found across Europe, from papers by Oliver Lodge [15] and Joseph Lamor [16] in England, to the lecture notes of Poincaré in France [17], and the textbooks of Paul Drude in Germany [18] and Lorentz in the Netherlands [19].
		Einstein mentioned to Stark that it was hard for him to find the time to read published scientific articles in order to acquaint himself with all the work others have done in the field, but he had seen papers by Lorentz, Kohn, Monsegeil and Planck [20].

	E=mc⊃2
		Einstein's formula, which describes the relationship between energy (E), mass (m) and the speed of light (c), derives from Einstein's special theory of relativity.
		The formula E=mc² first appeared in an article by Einstein in 1905, using a different notation, and in 1907 he fully generalized the concept to the equivalence of mass and energy.
		The implication of the formula thus became that a small amount of matter could, in principle, be converted into a vast amount of energy.

	U Of Nevada Physicist Says Einstein Was A Plagiarist
		The Register - UK A theoretical physicist at the University of Nevada has published a paper alleging that Einstein did not derive the gravitational field equations at the heart of the General Theory of Relativity, and might in fact have copied key equations from fellow physicist David Hilbert.
		He compares the 'mutilated' document with published papers, and notes that certain forms of Hilbert's notation were only used by Einstein at a later date.
		Winterberg concludes that three people should be given credit for developing the general theory of relativity: Einstein, for recognising the shape of the problem, Grossmann for his insight that the contracted Riemann tensor was key to solving the problem, and Hilbert for completing the gravitational field theory equations.

	Talk:Tensor - InformationBlast
		While indicial notation is necessary for computation, it obscures the fact that tensors are invariant with respect coordinate systems, and that is one reason why they are useful.
		It is a fact of life, and it won't go away unless mathematicians present a compelling case to the engineering community to not use indicial notation.
		Indicial notation lends itself to writing computer programs, which are useful for making money doing stuff like predicting the subsurface flow of TCE (a nasty dry-cleaning slovent).

		People have experimented with integrated notations that capture all aspects, but they tend to be cluttered and awkward to work with -- lower level, in this sense.
		In fact, typical presentations of Z designs intersperse the formalism with English descriptions, graphical notations, etc. to help people understand the logic.
		The benefits of translating the design to a formal notation are that the exercise forces you to analyze carefully what you throught you meant, and of course the ability to reason about the resulting specification.

		As an interesting example, we could implement the generalized Einstein notation (as Synopsis 9 proposed, and everybody liked the idea, but nobody liked the solution).
		The index could be an autoöverloading value that computes its necessary range and then evaluates at all the values it needs to.
		The actual rules of Einstein notation are pretty yucky when you’re dealing in a practical context (it has to do with summing over things that appear exactly twice).
