This information can be obtained through the physical arguments of Cooperstock's definition. We show that Ehlers' formalism is equivalent to Cooperstock's derivation of the Newtonian limit when the physical arguments are included in the former definition.entechnical reports (mathematics and statistics)Technical ReportDepartment of Mathematics and StatisticsDepartment of Physics and Astronomy
