Abstract
General relativistic gravity in empty space is formulated using undergraduate calculus, differential equations, and matrix algebra. The key to the formulation involves certain limited assumptions of Newtonian-like behavior in freely falling frames. The formulation results in a field-motion matrix equation that serves essentially the same purpose as Einstein’s field equations in empty space. The limited assumptions of Newtonian-like behavior in freely falling frames are then justified using well-known tensor relationships. To demonstrate its use, the new field-motion equation is used to solve for the Schwarzschild metric.
