gravitational field equation; Schwatzschild's
(1916) solution [Black Holes, Neutron Stars],
Friedmann's solution [Cosmology, Red shift].
Based on L.D. Landau & E.M. Lifshitz: The
Classical Theory of Fields, Chapts. 10-12:

Knowledge of Mechanics, Electrodynamics and
Special Relativity is assumed (Sect. 1-10).
