| contents | Notes prepared for the introductory general relativity course PHYSICS 748 at The University of Auckland. They are designed to introduce general relativity to upper-year undergraduate students directly using the modern language of differential geometry but in a physically motivated way, and throughout keeping a logical flow from section to section and chapter to chapter. In doing so, they necessarily cover a number of topics either not normally treated in an introductory course, or from a novel perspective. These include for example: affine spaces, comparing and contrasting rank-2 tensors with matrices, integration on manifolds, the Rindler metric, including a proper near-source boundary condition for the Schwarzschild metric, approaching Kruskal-Szekeres coordinates from a Rindler perspective, and more. |
