Description
Summary:By the nineteenth century various scientists shared the view that the description of the universe was already completed. However, Einstein's Gravitation Theory showed that future truths of physics go beyond the decimal places of already established truths. In a not too distant past Einstein's theory contradicted the imaginative level of most scientists, however, is now present even in the calibration of Global Positioning Systems (GPS). The mathematical tools that supported Einstein’s study were tensors, these objects allowed to settle the relationship between geometry and matter described by Einstein's tensor. Building the tensors that composes Einstein's tensor is possible to obtain the solution for the black hole Schwarzschild type. Therefore, it is valid to use the software Maple and GRTensorII package to compare the analytical and computational results.
