Einstein's general theory of relativity is the accepted classical theory of gravity. This course aims to introduce to you the essentials of general relativity: its basics concepts, mathematical formulation and observational consequences. Upon completing the course, you will be able to develop an understanding of the geometrical structure and physical implications of this theory. The geometrical framework of general relativity and analytical tools that you will learn in this course will be of wide use across subjects in theoretical physics and some branches of mathematics as well.
