This primer proposes a journey from Newton's dynamics to Einstein's relativity. It constitutes a pedagogical, rigorous, and self-contained introduction to the concepts and mathematical formulation of gravitational physics. In particular, much attention is devoted to exploring and applying the basic tools of differential geometry, that is the language of general relativity. Real-world manifestations of relativity, such as time dilation, gravitational waves, and black holes, are also discussed in detail. This book is designed for third-year bachelor or first-year master students in theoretical physics, who are already familiar with Newton's physics, possibly had an introductory course on special relativity, and who are seeking to learn general relativity on a firm basis.

Quand la recherche universitaire rejoint l'enquête policière : le poète Nerval et le compositeur Schumann n'ont jamais entendu parler l'un de l'autre. Pourtant, leurs œuvres et leurs vies sont semblables. Tous les deux furent atteints d'une folie qui les mena au suicide et qui engendra toutefois leurs plus belles œuvres… Pourquoi cette parenté ? Peut-on lire Nerval comme on entend Schumann, et vice-versa ? L'auteur nous fait partager la stupeur des coïncidences et l'émerveillement devant la création. Son propos relève d'un parallélisme plutôt que d'un comparatisme historiographique. Inventives, originales, les analyses de l'auteur sont surprenantes, mais toujours convaincantes, astucieuses et sensibles. Ouvrage publié avec le soutien financier de l'Institut universitaire de France.
