The book introduces the general theory of relativity and includes applications to cosmology.  The book contains a thorough introduction to tensor calculus and curved manifolds.  After the necessary mathematical tools are introduced, we give a thorough presentation of the theory of relativity.  Also, some advanced topics not previously covered by textbooks; e.g. Kaluza-Klein theory, Israel''s formalism and branes.  Anisotropic cosmological models are also included.

The book contains a large number of new exercises and examples, each with separate headings.  The reader will get an updated introduction to general relativity including the most recent developments in cosmology.
