This is a relativity course for Msc year I students at the Department of Physics, University of Nairobi. It deals with: Lorentz Transformations; Tensors in Special Relativity- Relativistic Kinematics and Dynamics; Electrodynamics in space-time; Newtonian Gravitational Theory; Equivalence Principle; Geometry of Spacetime; Covariant differentiation; Geodesics; Parallel transport; Curvature tensor; Schwarschild geometry.

During first year undergraduate physics most students often get the impression that physics is made up of distinct disciplines with little or no connection: Mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, atomic physics, quantum physics e.t.c. each dealing with a separate phenomena.
