My first dilation was in the 4th grade, haven't looked back since :)

The math is actually surprisingly simple once you understand how it works. Just some basic geometry and algebra.

@freemo @PauITown @Zest Even after college my intuition for tensor multiplication is pretty weak.

Tensor math is hard to build an intuition for even outside of GR.

@PauITown @Zest

@freemo @PauITown @Zest I bought a book on it that I plan on going through after I get through this topology book I'm reading.
I'm currently hung up on this part where they turn path homotpy classes into a multiplicative group. The multiplication operator just isn't making sense to me.

@swiley

After you try to work through it and can formulate your confusion (assuming its still there) feel free to make a public post to the group and myself and others can do our best to try to explain it hopefully... though i wouldnt really hope for too much of an intuitive understanding of tensors honestly, you sort get one a little if you work with it enough but I think thats more just repetition and seeing the patterns than it is actually understanding it :)
