TA sessions

The TA sessions in the course will be given by Magdalena Vande Voorde.

Problems labeled 1.xxx will be taken from the course book 300 Problems in Special and General Relativity. While the problems ex 25, 26, and 28 are the exercises from the Latex typed lecture notes (see Course literature) on pages 84, 86, and 88.

You can find the notes for each TA session under TA session notes
