A very thorough introduction, studies the Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrom, and Kerr
solutions using a variety of coordinate systems. Additional topics include gravitational
collapse, horizons, singularities, Carter-Penrose diagrams (aka conformal compactification),
Hawking radiation and black hole thermodynamics

Relativity and Cosmology
undergraduate course notes include both special relativity (e.g., spacetime, Lorentz invariance,
various "paradoxes") and general relativity (e.g., equivalence principle, black
holes, gravitational waves, experimental tests of gtr). Apparently a survey course for
non-majors, with little math but some very nice graphics.
