Hermann Minkowski recast special relativity as essentially a new geometric structure for spacetime. This book looks at the ideas of both Einstein and Minkowski, and then introduces the theory of frames, surfaces and intrinsic geometry, developing the main implications of Einstein's general relativity theory. INDICE: * Relativity before 1905 * Special relativity--kinematics * Special relativity--kinetics * Arbitrary frames * Surfaces and curvatures * Intrinsic geometry * General relativity * Consequences
