General Geodesic Equation of Motion Based upon the Riemannian Geometry

In the book entitled The General Geodesic Equation of Motion for the Planet Based upon the Golden Metric Tensor, we introduced the general vectorial geodesic equation for particles of non-zero rest mass in the gravitational fields. In this book, we obtained/derived the following items: -General linear acceleration vector based upon the golden metric tensor in spherical coordinates. -General gravitational intensity (acceleration due gravity) vector based upon the golden metric tensor in spherical coordinates. -The generalized planetary equation based upon the Riemannian geometry and the golden metric tensor. -A first approximation of the generalized planetary equation based upon the Riemannian geometry and the golden metric tensor. -A second approximation of the generalized planetary equation based upon the Riemannian geometry and the golden metric tensor.
