Abstract

Welcome to the wonderful world of relativity! These course notes are at an introductory level, aimed at an enthusiastic student or learner who does not necessarily have advanced mathematical or physical knowledge past the high school level. These notes are also intended to serve as a guideline for any educators aspiring to teach an expository course on relativity. Either way, we hope that you will enjoy your time exploring space and time with us!
