a very nice start for everyone who needs to learn about realativity algebra. there are several old and new editions of topological approaches after this fast and continuous derive of space time metrics, from Euclidian to curvature and then Einstein equation. in last edition professor Lawden added an additional chapter about cosmology in brief. This book is recommended to undergraduates in physics, matyematics, and people who are interested in relativiy and algebra with first 3 years of undergraduate knowledge in physics or mathematics.
