Well he was once famously quoted as saying "Do not worry about your own difficulties in maths - I assure you mine are far greater."
Is that ironic or what??

I believe a lot of the mathematics used in relativity had already been developed. However this is pretty difficult and Einstein would have had to understand it. Most physics experts are also very good mathematicians.
Einsteins real breakthrough was using the mathematics to represent a particular circumstance in a way nobody had contemplated before and, more importantly his theories started to predict results of experiments better than other theories.

Einstein would not have been able to arrive at the General Theory of Relativity without the Ricci-calculus.
Einstein was expert in mathematics though and he did the computation of relativity equations himself..
Btw, it's "was Einstien expert ?" because, as you know, Einstein died.
