The aim of these lecture notes is
to provide a reasonably self-contained introduction to General Relativity,
including a variety of applications of the theory, ranging from the solar system
to gravitational waves, black holes and cosmology. This book covers the
following topics: Physics in a Gravitational Field and General Covariance,
General Relativity and Geometry, Dynamics of the Gravitational Field, General
Relativity and the Solar System, Black Holes, Cosmology, Varia, Kaluza-Klein
Theory.
This note explains the following topics: Special relativity, Prelude to
general relativity, Differential geometry and tensor calculus, Curvature and
general relativity.
