NEW
The papers for this term are now available in the Papers Directory.
There are TeX related resources linked off of Professor Mary Pugh's homepage
.
I suggest you write your papers in LaTeX but feel free
to use other versions if you wish.
There are tex/latex resources on cquest .
In addition to the book of Wald, I have found it useful
to consult General
Relativity : An Introduction to the Theory of Gravitational Field by
Hans Stephani, A
first course in general relativity by Bernard Schutz, and
The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time by Hawking and Ellis.
Also, the lecture notes by
Sean Carroll have been an excellent resource. If there is sufficient interest,
I can arrange to have Carroll's notes made available
at a local copy shop.
The lectures will also be supplemented with selections
from The
Classical Theory of Fields
by Landau and Lifschitz, and other sources.
The 2002 version of this course had a webpage .
