About: This textbook, designed for senior undergraduates, or first year graduates in Theoretical Physics, introduces, in an extremely pedagogical way, Einstein's General Relativity and Tensor Calculus, and important developments: Black-Holes were some time ago considered just a matter of imagination, devoid of reality--but now we are quite sure that they exist, and not far from us, in the center of galaxies like ours, for instance: Mach's Principle was a name given by Einstein to the idea that inertia "here", is caused by the distant matter "there", in the whole Universe.
