Description

Combining Geometric Algebra with tetrads is an excellent tool to describe the geometric character of General Relativity. In this talk, I will briefly introduce the formalism and illustrate its potential by presenting the calculations of an orbital precision around a Schwarzschild black hole. Compared with tensor calculus, we reduce a system of 4 coupled differential equations to a single, trivial one with a clearly geometric solution.
