Gravitational Waves I: Basic Emission Equations

Abstract

Using the Einstein gravitation theory we show how to obtain the basic equations which predict the gravitational waves. This paper was written to graduate and post-graduate students of Physics. We deduce the equations didactically following the simplest way maintaining, however, the necessary mathematical rigor.
