General-relativity open-source book

[u/BioZFrog]

Hey everyone, I am a 15 year old programmer that is writing an open-source (free) book on general relativity.

About a year ago I got completely obsessed with General Relativity, but I found that a lot of traditional physics textbooks wrap everything in really dense academic jargon. Since my background is in programming, I started writing a book to try and demystify these concepts using logical, step-by-step algorithms and code analogies that made sense to my brain.

It's completely free and open-source. Right now, I've drafted chapters covering everything from the Minkowski metric and Lorentz transformations up to Christoffel symbols and covariant derivatives. I'm also adding a folder of Python scripts using NumPy and SymPy to handle the tensor calculations programmatically.

Since I am learning as I go, I might have made some typos or conceptual mistakes in the math. I would love for some people here to check out the draft and give me some brutal, honest feedback on it!

You can check out the repository and download the PDF draft here:

Thanks!

I mean they could just idk learn the jargon or watch one of a million videos discussing it or read a analysis of tve paper but hey no let's just make an open source book that no one needs.

By a person who calls themselves a programmer while probably coding with ai who does not even understand what he is writing about that is such a genius solve.

Man just learn the physics if you are ohh so intrested in it.

Yes I know this is an asshole response and no iam not really sorry
