Introduction:
Tensor analysis and general relativity are two key concepts in the field of physics that have revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Tensor analysis is a mathematical framework that allows for the study of tensors, which are multi-dimensional arrays that can represent physical quantities such as stress, strain, and electromagnetic fields. General relativity, on the other hand, is a theory of gravitation that describes the force of gravity as a curvature in the fabric of spacetime.
This thesis aims to explore the relationship between tensor analysis and general relativity, and how these concepts have shaped our understanding of the universe. By delving into the mathematical intricacies of tensor analysis and the theoretical underpinnings of general relativity, this thesis seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of these two interconnected fields.
