A clear physical description of a variety of spacetime geometries is provided in
terms of the various connection coefficients and curvature-related tensors. The
affine connection coefficients, the Riemann curvature tensor, Ricci tensor,
scalar curvature and Einstein tensor, and associated discussion is provided for
flat spacetime, the Schwarzschild geometry, the Morris-Thorne wormhole geometry,
the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker geometry, and a static spherical geometry.
