What areas of maths play the main role in the theory of general relativity?

I know general relativity is highly mathematical and requires very advanced mathematics. I am just curious, can you please point out what areas of maths is used in general relativity? Just giving me the names will be fine...eg. differential equations. Thanks!|||Integrals, Calculas, Linear Algebra


Tensors (they don't come up many other places), Guages|||Tensor calculus and differential geometry.
