math.MG Metric Geometry

Metric geometry is the mathematical underpinning of general relativity. Without taking into account the effects of general relativity on the orbiting satellites that make up the GPS system, the locations reported by GPS receivers would accumulate errors of around 10km each day, rendering the system useless.
