The lecture notes (new, slightly revised version 15/9/2007)
Introduction to General Relativity (in English)
click here. These notes now also appeared as a book: Introduction to General Relativity
, Rinton Press, Inc., Princeton NJ, ISBN 1-58949-000-2.
There is a small ERRATUM referring to an
equation in the end of these lectures (both in the book and in the notes of before Jan. 24,
2001.) Some irritating misprints in the book are corrected here also.
Minor changes or corrections in the notes may be made. Comments about the lecture notes are always welcome.
Assistants for the exercise sessions: R. van Gelderen and K. Hristov.
The Exercises (up to Friday October 22) that can presently be downloaded are:
- the problem set op to now
- extra problems
Lecture course Friday Oct. 1: depending on the page number reached in the
course, the exercises will presumably be: nrs. 7-10 of the problem set GR.
(for technical reasons some of these problems are on the second file, "extra
problems")
As a rule, students will have about one week time to do the exercises and hand in the answers.
Examinations:
The exercises will be checked; the correct answers will count for 20 %.
Mid term examination (presumably November 12): result will count for 30 %.
Final examination: result will count for 50 %.
