Abstract
Einstein’s point of view written above may seem malicious. But almost all the mathematics we present in this chapter is related to the work by Tullio Levi-Civita.
The theory of gravitation will not find its way into my colleagues’ head for longtime yet, no doubt. Only one, Levi-Civita in Padua, has probably grasped the main point completely, because he is
familiar with the mathematics used.
Albert Einstein
