General relativity is a beautiful scheme for describing the gravitational fleld 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 why in an introduction to general relativity it is of

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
This deficiency leads to the general theory of relativity. We shall not consider it for the moment. The concept of the rigid body (and that of the clock) has a key bearing on the foregoing consideration of the fundamentals of mechanics, a bearing which there is some justification for challenging. The rigid body is only ap-
consider an intermediate formalism - special relativity referred to oblique rectilinear axes. If we make a transformation to oblique axes, each of the dxµ mentioned in (1.1) becomes a linear function of the new dxµ and the quadratic form (1.1) becomes a general quadratic form in the new dxµ. We may write it µ ν gν dx dx, (2.1)
