Objectives The subject, Relativity, sets out to give a global vision of this discipline. Given it is essential that the students knows the Riemann varieties, it is customary in the first month of classes to impart three topics on these structures, enough for the student to be able to understand Relativity comfortably. Given the fact that not all the students have done this module. Geometric structure of space-time, will be dedicated to some special topics within relativity. These topics will be given a different focus so that they will be novel for all the students. In the second half of the quarter we will look at General Relativity.
