Suitable for postgraduate students and researchers in the field of astrophysics and mathematical physics, this book lays the mathematical foundation of tensor calculus. With basics of cosmology and astrophysics, it gives a background of geodesics, linearised gravity, Lie derivatives, rotating black holes and causal structure of space-time.
