Highly recommended!

Currently I am reading a biography of Einstein which I got on my 
birthday. That man had many types of struggles at all kinds of levels. 
The general relativity was one of them. Infact, his trusted friend 
Grossman put him on the right track years before (the Zurich notebook), 
but Einsteins preconception of how the result should be made him abandon 
that trail for a number of years. It's a lovely mess of Riemann and 
Ricci tensors. Digging around I learned that there is (quite) a few 
pieces of math I need to learn in order to really follow the calculations.

Cheers,
Magnus
