Additional prerequisites for General Relativity

[Alok Shah]

I am thinking of taking a course on General Theory of Relativity in the next semester of college. My major is in aerospace engineering. I have already completed courses on Calculus, Differential equations, Linear Algebra, and also have a fair bit of idea about tensor calculus.
What other prior knowledge would help me understand the course better ?

Have you covered any Special Relativity?

Have you covered any Special Relativity?

No I haven't. How much time should it normally take to learn Special Relativity if I devote about 3-4 hours every day ?

Differential geometry should also be a consideration...
