Building the Dirac Equation

Now that we have a basic understanding of the components of the Standard Model, let's start digging into the math. What did the first attempts to construct a relativistic version of the wave equation yield? We have the Klein-Gordon equation, and then the Dirac Equation. What are these equations and what do they tell us?
