This graduate level introduction explores the extended theories of gravity and cosmology, including variational principles, the weak-field limit, gravitational waves, and more. Complete with a consistent notation and rich references, the text unifies the existing literature in this area.

This book offers an essential bridge between college-level introductions and advanced graduate-level books on special relativity. It begins at an elementary level, presenting and discussing the basic concepts normally covered in college-level works, including the Lorentz transformation.
