Learning Outputs

The students who have succeeded in this course;
upon succeeding this course the student will be able to
1) know the concepts of  manifold and the curvature tensor, and understood very well
the role of the inner-dot product,
2) calculate the distance, area and curvature on Semi-Riemannian manifolds.
3) explain the properties of geodesics on Semi-Riemannian manifolds, and also the concepts as chronology and time cone
4) understand paradoxes in relativity.
5) Explain all properties of Warped product and the metric

matrices.
