If spacetime is a malleable manifold as postulated by general relativity, why does space not exert a force of equal and opposite strength on the body that is bending it?

Trying to wrap my dense skull around the seemingly straightforward concept, thanks /sci/.

If you are an engineer/scientist you will need a book like this or the one OP posted. This one has a really good solution manual, for self learners. Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Greenburg is also really good.

If it is not in these books then it probably does not have a real world application. Most pure math classes are a waste for people that actually have to use math to make things.

Even though it was not required for civil engineering, I took the year long math for physicists as an elective. Applied math is best taught by engineers/physicists.
