Induced metric

In mathematics and theoretical physics, the induced metric is the metric tensor defined on a submanifold that is induced from the metric tensor on a manifold into which the submanifold is embedded, through the pullback. It may be determined using the following formula (using the Einstein summation convention), which is the component form of the pullback operation: Here , describe the indices of coordinates of the submanifold while the functions encode the embedding into the higher-dimensional manifold whose tangent indices are denoted , .

What is General Relativity? Lesson 8: Intro to the metric connection and the induced metric.

This lesson is an introduction to the concept of the metric connection followed by a long exercise in classical differential geometry. It is a long lesson because I complete a full example: the derivation of the metric of the "glome" induced by the Euclidean metric of 4-dimensional space.

Using Dimensional Analysis to Find the Units of a Constant

This video shows you how to use dimensional analysis to find the units for constants in physics and chemistry equations. For example, why are the units for the gravitational constant (G) newtons, meters squared over kilograms squared. Dimensional analysis in physics is an important tool t
