written by Stefan Waner

This website contains lecture notes on differential geometry and general relativity provided by a university mathematics professor. The lecture notes start with the necessary mathematical tools (vectors, geometry and tensors), and then explain general relativity and its consequences. At the bottom of the page references and suggested further readings can be found. The latest version of the notes can be downloaded in PDF format.
