- Are There Pictorial Examples of Covariant and Contravariant Vectors? Present pictorial means of distinguishing contravariant vectors (or simply vectors) from covariant vectors (or linear forms). By Bernard Jancewicz (University of Wroclaw).
- Solving Einstein's Equations in Three Dimensions Mathematica notebook showing how to plot light cones in two plus one spacetime dimensions with a point mass. By Patricia Schwarz.
- Gravitomagnetic Effects Introductory article by Gerhard Schäfer (Jena University) about the ways that rotating bodies affect spacetime (and hence the propagation of light and particles in free fall) in their vicinity.
