 * The uses of this equation.
 * Better definition of terms

Use Einstein's field equation as a guide.

Relating the Einstein equation to Newtonian physics
I have not studied general relativity (but I am an engineer, so I have a reasonably good physics background) and a look at the Einstein equation baffles me. Would anybody be able to creating an example that shows how the Einstein equation simplies to something that would be taught in a sophmore physics class.

Mistake
R_ab under "Vacuum Field Equations" should be R_munu for consistent notation, right? I'm not confident enough to change this myself.
