Relativity Courses

Relativity courses can help you learn the principles of time dilation, the curvature of spacetime, and gravitational waves. You can build skills in mathematical modeling, critical thinking, and problem-solving as you explore the implications of Einstein's theories. Many courses introduce tools such as simulation software and data analysis techniques, which are used to visualize complex concepts and analyze experimental results in astrophysics and cosmology.
