Abstract
This website contains lecture notes on Special and General Relativity, with a mathematical approach. The first part is exclusively dedicated to Special Relativity and its mathematical treatment using Tensors. The last four subjects go through General Relativity, explaining its principles, the effects of gravity and how to apply Tensors to the study of curvature of space. The topics in this resource include: Mathematical Tools and Linear Algebra and Tensors in General physics; General Relativity; Mathematics in relativity; Tensors in relativity; and Special relativity.
