This 2004 textbook fills a gap in the literature on general
relativity by providing the advanced student with practical tools
for the computation of many physically interesting quantities. The
context is provided by the mathematical theory of black holes, one
of the most elegant, successful, and relevant applications of
general relativity. Among the topics discussed are congruencies of
timelike and null geodesics, the embedding of spacelike, timelike
and null hypersurfaces in spacetime, and the Lagrangian and
Hamiltonian formulations of general relativity. Although the book
is self-contained, it is not meant to serve as an introduction to
general relativity. Instead, it is meant to help the reader acquire
advanced skills and become a competent researcher in relativity and
gravitational physics. The primary readership consists of graduate
students in gravitational physics. It will also be a useful
reference for more seasoned researchers working in this field.
