Read Susskind's "Historical Aside" (new in upd) – Einstein had no rigorous derivation. The equations are the simplest possible curvature–matter relationship consistent with conservation of energy. That humility is valuable.
specifically for one of the earlier volumes in the series instead? General Relativity: The Theoretical Minimum
This guide breaks down exactly what is included in the updated curriculum, where to find legitimate resources, and how to master the "minimum" math required to understand Einstein’s masterpiece. What is "The Theoretical Minimum"?
: Unlike casual reads, this text explicitly teaches the mathematics of curved spacetime, including metric tensors, Christoffel symbols, and covariant derivatives.
If you successfully acquire the PDF, you will find that Susskind does not waste time. Here is the exact table of contents you should see (Version UPD 2.4+):
Spend two full weeks on Chapter 2. Work through every component transformation. Use the free "Tensors for Beginners" video series by eigenchris on YouTube alongside the PDF.
