   f ′ (x) A function f of x, differentiated once in Lagrange's notation. One of the most common modern notations for differentiation is named after Joseph Louis Lagrange, even though it was actually invented by Euler and just popularized by the former. In Lagrange's notation, a prime mark denotes a derivative.

7. Einstein field equations - Wikipedia

   t. e. In the general theory of relativity, the Einstein field equations (EFE; also known as Einstein's equations) relate the geometry of spacetime to the distribution of matter within it. [ 1 ] The equations were published by Albert Einstein in 1915 in the form of a tensor equation [ 2 ] which related the local spacetime curvature (expressed by ...
