Introduction to Relativity

I've come across two online sources I really like.

To get an introduction to Tensors consider this NASA 29 page paper:

http://www.lerc.nasa.gov/WWW/K-12/Nu...2002211716.pdf

and for some introductory comments and insight into relativity try:

http://einstein.relativitybook.com/E...n_gravity.html

And for a really elementary first exposure to relativity consider
http://www.einstein-online.info/en/e...lRT/index.html

Have fun......
