- Brief description of the modules
This course equips students with essential knowledge of special relativity and its applications in electrodynamics. It introduces the concept of four-dimensional spacetime and then extends it to curved spacetime to describe gravity. Therefore, although the course is titled "Theory of Relativity," it covers both special and general relativity, providing a fundamental understanding of both theories and their applications.
