1. Introduction and Overview -- 2. Special relativity: the basics -- II. Relativity -- Metric Description of Spacetime -- 3. Special relativity: the geometric formulation -- 4. Principle of equivalence -- 5. Metric description of a curved space -- 6. GR as a geometric theory of gravity -- I -- 7. Spherically symmetric spacetime -- GR tests -- 8. Black holes -- III. Cosmology -- 9. Homogeneous and isotropic universe -- 10. Expanding universe and thermal relics -- 11. Inflation and the accelerating universe -- IV. Relativity -- Full Tensor Formulation -- 12. Tensors in special relativity -- 13. Tensors in general relativity -- 14. GR as a geometric theory of gravity -- II -- 15. Linearized theory and gravitational waves -- Physical constants.

Summary: An introduction to Einstein's general theory of relativity, this work is structured so that interesting applications, such as gravitational lensing, black holes and cosmology, can be presented without the readers having to first learn the difficult mathematics of tensor calculus.
