note covers the following topics: Symmetry and Invariance, Relativistic
Kinematics, Variational Calculus, Relativistic Dynamics and Particle Physics,
The Equivalence Principle and General Relativity, Relativity and
Electromagnetism, General Relativity and Cosmology.
The purpose of this note is to introduce the theory of special relativity
in an easily understandable way.Covered topics are: The 2 Postulates,
The Relativity of Simultaneity, Length Contraction, Time Dilation, Lorentz
Transformation, The Metric, The Twins Paradox, Moving faster than light?,

This note provides an informal introduction to that beautiful and amazingly
accurate theory of gravity called general relativity. The goal is to explain the
basic equation in this theory - Einstein's equation - with a minimum of fuss and
muss.
This note covers the following topics: Galilean Relativity, Special Relativity, Radar, Time Dilation, General
Relativity, Principle of Equivalence, Curved Spacetime, Light cones in curved
space-time.
This note covers the following topics: Special relativity, Basic concepts of general relativity, Spherically symmetric
spacetimes, Differential geometry and Variational principles.
