==== Introduction ====
Our main aim here is an extrinsic formulation of General Relativity. The intrinsic formulation of the theory on the basis of Tensor Calculus has been exhaustively developed, so here we will look at its extrinsic formulation. We want to see if it will agree with what we will have come up with in the Proper Time Adjusted Special Relativity with gravitation. This will allow us to describe much more clearly the way that spacetime curvature produces the acceleration of gravity.
