General Relativity is the classical theory that describes the evolution of systems under the e ect of gravity. Its history goes back to 1915 when Einstein postulated that the laws of gravity can be expressed as a system of equations, the so-called Einstein equations. In order to formulate his theory, Einstein had to reinterpret fundamental ...
General relativity is a beautiful scheme for describing the gravitational ̄eld and the equations it obeys. Nowadays this theory is often used as a prototype for other, more intricate constructions to describe forces between elementary particles or other branches of fundamental physics.
This is a definite mathematical condition that the theory of relativity demands of a natural law, and in virtue of this, the theory becomes a valuable heuristic aid in the search for general laws of nature.

general relativity are derived. A wide range of applications to physical situations follows, and the conclusion gives a brief discussion of classical field theory and the derivation of general relativity from a variational principle. Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this approachable
These lectures represent an introductory graduate course in general relativity, both its foun-dations and applications. They are a lightly edited version of notes I handed out while teaching Physics 8.962, the graduate course in GR at MIT, during the Spring of 1996. Al-
Part II General Relativity Lecture Notes Abstract These notes represent the material covered in the Part II lecture General Relativity (GR). While the course is largely self-contained and some aspects of Newtonian Gravity and Special Relativity will be reviewed, it assumed that readers will already be famil-iar with these topics.
