No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1963–64 to 1964–65; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Tensor analysis: covariant and contravariant tensors, covariant differentiation, Riemannian space, geodesics, Ricci tensor, Christoffel symbols. General relativity: gravitation and special relativity, equivalence principle, field equations of general relativity, Schwarzschild metric, observational evidence for the general theory. Cosmology: Newtonian, Einstein and de Sitter universes, the expanding universe, cosmological principle and steady-state universe, observational clues.
As printed in the 1963–64 to 1964–65 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
