| Lecture Notes on General Relativity (Sean Carroll): Lecture notes for a one-semester course in General Relativity. |
| A Short Course on General Relativity: A graduate level course which includes weak field theory, gravitational waves, radiation damping, cosmology, the Friedmann and Lemaitre dusts, singularities, black holes, the Schwarzschild metric and Kruskal's extension of it. This is a single postscript document. |
| Black Holes: A very thorough introduction, studies the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, and Kerr solutions using a variety of coordinate systems. Additional topics include gravitational collapse, horizons, singularities, Carter-Penrose diagrams (aka conformal compactification), Hawking radiation and black hole thermodynamics |
| Bondi K-Calculus: A simple derivation of Einstein's theory of relativity which is widely taught to undergraduate physics students. The mathematics required though make this easy for anyone to understand. |
| Caltech's Physics 237-2002 - Gravitational Waves: all the materials from a graduate-student-level course on Gravitational Waves taught at the California Institute of Technology, January through May of 2002. The materials include Quicktime videos of the lectures, lists of suggested and supplementary reading, copies of some of the readings, many exercises, and solutions to all exercises. |
| Cambridge Relativity: Non-technical descriptions of cosmology, black holes, cosmic strings, inflation, quantum cosmology, and string theory. |
| Cosmology: This page contains information about the course Cosmology and exobiology read in the fall semester 1999 at the Physics Institute of NTNU, Trondheim |
| Einstein's Gravitational Field Equations: Describes the properties of a gravitational field surrounding a given mass. |
| Falling into a Black Hole (Andrew Hamilton): Fall into a black hole on a real free fall orbit. All distortions of images are real, both general relativistic from the gravitational bending of light, and special relativistic from the near light speed orbit. |
| General Relativity: This homepage contains lecture notes on the course of general relativity FX2/H97 read in the fall semester 1997 at the Physics Institute of NTNU, Trondheim |
| General Relativity and Cosmology: An online notes from the University of British Columbia featuring simple explanations of cosmological phenomena. |
