Physics 252: Modern Physics
galileo.phys.virginia.edu
A second year course including twelve lectures on special relativity taught by Michael Fowler at the University of Virginia in 1999. Includes lecture notes in HTML format (from Galilei transformations to relativistic mechanics, including some thoughts on general relativity) and problem sets. introducing special relativity and quantum mechanics. All of the lecture notes are posted online.
Understanding General Relativity
rafimoor.com
Step-by-step introduction to general relativity, from the basic principles via a heuristic account of the mathematics of curved spaces to the Einstein field equations, plus brief sections on advanced topics such as black holes and cosmology. By Rafi Moor.
Bondi K-Calculus
geocities.com
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 required.
Spacetime 101
theory.caltech.edu
Tutorial by Patricia Schwarz (Caltech); accessible for a general audience. Covers the basics of spacetime, special and general relativity using simple diagrams.
Special Relativity
theory.uwinnipeg.ca
Part of a course in modern physics (Physics 1501) taught by Randy Kobes and Gabor Kunstatter at the University of Winnipeg in 1999. Covers the basics from the two postulates to the Lorentz transformations plus selected further topics; uses no more than high-school level mathematics.
Physics 8.033: Relativity
ocw.mit.edu
Undergraduate course held by Max Tegmark at MIT in Fall, 2006; the main focus is special relativity, although the basics of the general theory (the equivalence principle, the effect of gravity on light, and some cosmology) are also discussed. Part of MIT OpenCourseWare; a complete set of lecture notes, assignments and exams is available for download.
General Relativity Tutorial
math.ucr.edu
Highly recommendable collection of interconnected web pages that serve as an informal introduction to general relativity. While some mathematics is used, the focus is on the key ideas. By John Baez (University of California at Riverside).
Relativity Tutorial
