Simple Derivations of the Schwarzschild Metric

Two derivations, one of the Schwarzschild line element, the other of the gravitational bending of light, both using only special relativity, the equivalence principle, and the Newtonian law of gravity, are examined in detail and shown to be incorrect. In both derivations equations of the correct form were derived, but the physical meanings of the symbols are not what they purport to be. The postulates, in addition to the above three that are necessary to derive the bending of light, are discussed briefly.
