Abstract / Description of output

We present a systematic technique to expand the Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian in inverse powers of the speed of light squared. The corresponding result for the non-relativistic gravity Lagrangian is given up to next-to-next-to-leading order. The techniques are universal and can be used to expand any Lagrangian theory whose fields are a function of a given parameter.
