“Now students can interact with everything from two-dimensional trajectory paths … to Riemann sums … to the phases of the planets … to almost anything else you can imagine.”
“Also, I do enjoy some of the earlier posts about Riemannian manifold vs pseudo-Riemann manifold and metric/metric tensor/etc … My GR prof this semester has mentioned all these things (he is a mathematician) but he said he would call them by other names just out of habit.”
