- Tutorial 1: Motivation for Classical To Relativistic World
Appealing to the universal character of space and time or
alternatively to their homogeneity, we naturally arrive at SR
(Special Relativity) and then to GR by appealing to universal
character of gravity.

Formulation of gravity as curvature of spacetime. Metric,
affine connection and Riemann curvature giving rise to
Einstein's gravity.

Interesting solutions of Einstein's equation representing
black holes. Schwarzschild static and Kerr rotating black hole
and their interesting properties.
