A Short Course on General Relativity
A graduate level course which includes weak field theory, gravitational waves, radiation damping, cosmology, the Friedmann and Lemaitre dusts, singularities, black holes, the Schwarzschild metric and Kruskal's extension of it. This is a sing

Modern Relativity
Set of notes outlining general relativity and its applications, including cosmology and gravitational waves, but also "fringe physics" topics such as faster-than-light travel and wormholes. By David Waite.

Bondi K-Calculus
A simple derivation of Einstein's theory of relativity in six short lessons. Bondi's K-calculus relies on local quantities (e.g. times actually measured on specific clocks) instead of introducing coordinates, hence, no more than elementary maths is requ
