| '''Non-exact solutions in general relativity''' are [[Solutions of the Einstein field equations|solutions]] of Albert Einstein's [[Einstein field equations|field equations of general relativity]] which hold only approximately. These solutions are typically found by treating the gravitational field, <math>g</math>, as a background space-time, <math>\gamma</math>, (which is usually an exact solution) plus some small perturbation, <math>h</math>. Then one is able to solve the [[Einstein field equations]] as a [[Power series solution of differential equations|series]] in <math>h</math>, dropping higher order terms for simplicity.

Oscar is how he's called and he totally enjoys this name. Hiring is her working day occupation now and she will not alter it whenever soon. Years in the past he moved to North Dakota and his family members loves it. To collect coins is what his family and him enjoy.
