• Are There Pictorial Examples of Covariant and Contravariant Vectors?

  http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9807044
  Present pictorial means of distinguishing contravariant vectors (or simply vectors) from covariant vectors (or linear forms). By Bernard Jancewicz (University of Wroclaw).

• Gravitomagnetic Effects

  http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0407116
  Introductory article by Gerhard Schäfer (Jena University) about the ways that rotating bodies affect spacetime (and hence the propagation of light and particles in free fall) in their vicinity.

• Inertia Manipulation Through Metric Patching

  http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/0106003
  E-print which presents the exact solution for the stress-energy tensor of a spherical matter shell of finite thickness that will patch together different metrics at the boundaries of the shell. By David Waite.

• Solving Einstein's Equations in Three Dimensions

  http://www.theory.caltech.edu/people/patricia/test/Einstein3.html#Einstein31
  Mathematica notebook showing how to plot light cones in two plus one spacetime dimensions with a point mass. By Patricia Schwarz.
