Abstract
Approximate equations are derived for the motion of a gyroscope on the earth's gravitational field using the Einstein, Infeld, Hoffmann surface integral method. This method does not require a knowledge of the energy-momentum-stress tensor associated with the gyroscope and uses only its exterior field for its characterization. The resulting equations of motion differ from those of previous derivations.
