General relativity  

The first half of the course focuses on the foundations of general relativity, including the underlying mathematical formalism (basic concepts of differential geometry). The second half focuses on a selection of important applications (black holes, gravitational waves, cosmology). GENERAL COMPETENCIES Completing this course should enable students to explain main concepts and results in general relativity, Einstein's description of gravity; apply this understanding in practical calculations; understand main aspects of the physics of black holes, gravitational waves; take on more advanced topics in general relativity, black hole physics, cosmology.
