Dersin Amaçları		General Relativity is the theory of space-time and gravitation proposed by Einstein in 1915. It remains at the centre of theoretical physics research, with applications ranging from astrophysics to string theory. This course will introduce the theory using a modern, geometric, approach.
Dersin Tanımı		This is an undergraduate level introductory General Relativity course
Dersin Çıktıları
Önkoşullar		This course will be self-contained, so previous knowledge of General Relativity (GR) is not essential. However, as it is an elective course, I assume that the students have some very introductary knowledge in GR. If you have not studied GR before, then I strongly recommend that you study an introductory book, i.e. Hartle's Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein's General Relativity. Familiarity with i. Newtonian Gravity ii. Special Relativity iii. Classical Mechanics iv. Relativistic formulation of electrodynamics v. Finite-dimensional vector spaces are essential.
Gereken Olanaklar
Diğer		We have weekly homework. Late homework will never be accepted. Homework not submitted online before the deadline are considered late. Homework solutions must be typeset using Latex. You may discuss homework problems with other students, but you must write up your homework independently in your own words. The exams may or may not be take-home. If not, by default, all exams (midterms and final) are closed book, and you are not allowed to use any electronic devices such as mobiles and tablets Regular attendance is essential and expected. A student who incurs an excessive number of absences may be withdrawn from the class at the instructor's discretion. Be courteous when using mobile devices. Make sure your cell phone is turned fully off, or silent. No texting, reading emails, playing games, or whatever else it is that people do with those wretched gizmos. If you must use a laptop in class, then turn off the sound and do not type on laptop keyboards which is really distracting. Missing one class could easily lead to a disastrous domino effect. If you have to miss a lecture, then I strongly recommend you study the material you missed before you return to class. I require that you know all material covered in class. You are responsible for making up anything that was covered in lectures you missed
