Hey Guys , I want to learn general realtvity. After seen a lot of documentaries. I found myself primarily lacking for mathematics. Therefore I conclued that if I don't go with mathematics I will not progress.

I heard general realtivity uses some type of tensor calculus. How can I lean that ? Can you people provide me internet link to read that?

I also want to read the general relativity in the internet (with complete maths).

I don't have money so I cannot buy a book.

Help . Advance thanks.

The best free introduction to GR is Sean Carroll's notes which you can find here

http://arxiv.org/abs/gr-qc/9712019

You'll need undergraduate level maths to make progress with this.

Ben Crowell also has a more general and accessible book available here

Probably you should start with the second one, so you can see what you're getting into.
