This book provides a concise introduction to both the special
theory of relativity and the general theory of relativity. The
format is chosen to provide the basis for a single semester course
which can take the students all the way from the foundations of
special relativity to the core results of general relativity: the
Einstein equation and the equations of motion for particles and
light in curved spacetime. To facilitate access to the topics of
special and general relativity for science and engineering students
without prior training in relativity or geometry, the relevant
geometric notions are also introduced and developed from the ground
up. Students in physics, mathematics or engineering with an
interest to learn Einstein's theories of relativity should be able
to use this book already in the second semester of their third
year. The book could also be used as the basis of a graduate level
introduction to relativity for students who did not learn
relativity as part of their undergraduate training.
