The book delves into the mathematical foundations of relativity, starting with differential geometry on manifolds, which includes differentiation and integration. It presents special relativity through tensor calculus on tangential spaces and explores Einstein's field equations that connect curvature to matter. Detailed discussions on relativistic effects within the solar system, including phenomena such as black holes, provide a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
