But there is more to General Relativity than merely a physical interpretation of a variant of Riemannian Geometry. For, the theory contains physical laws in the form of equations - Einstein's equations - imposed on the geometric structure. This gives a tightness which makes the resulting mathematical structure one of surpassing subtlety and beauty.

- Mathematics
Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.
