1. Principles of special theory of relativity, Lorentz transforms and their consequences.
2. Geometry of physics, Minkowski space-time, causal space-time structure.
3. Principle of least action in relativistic mechanics, covariant formulation of relativistic mechanics and electrodynamics, energy-momentum tensor and conservation laws.
4. Principles of general relativity, GRT as a theory of gravity, gravity as a curvature of space-time and the consequences of such a description.
5. Test particle motion, geodetic equation. Riemann's curvature tensor and its properties.
6. Einstein equations of the gravitational field, Newtonian limit.
7. Spatial space around static spherical body, motion of particles and photons in Schwarzschild space-time. Classical GRT tests (precession of Mercury´s perihelion, bending of light rays around the Sun, delay of radar signals).
