This is a first course of General Relativity, covering at first some prerequisite mathematical foundations such as tensor calculus/multi-linear algebra or differential geometry of Lorentzian manifolds. After that, some key physical features of General Relativity are described including:
1) Newtonian approximation
2) Gravitational radiation
3) Cosmological solutions
4) Black holes
This course is generally intended for master level students.
