General Relativity: Einstein's Theory of Gravity Detailed course outline () General Comments 8.20 is an introduction to Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. We will probably have a lecture or two to introduce his General Theory as well, but the principal focus will be on special relativity, which we will study in quite a bit of detail. If you have hoped to understand the physics of Lorentz contraction, time dilation, the 'twin paradox', and E=mc 2, you're in the right place. 8.20 is a 9-unit course given in the four weeks of. A 9-unit course is roughly equivalent to 30 hours a week for four weeks, be prepared to work hard!

The reading is an important part of the course, but if you want to know what you are responsible for, it's the material that is presented in lecture unless otherwise explicitly stated. Course Prerequisites 8.20 is open to all MIT students who have completed or placed out of 8.01 (Physics I - Classical Mechanics) and 18.01 (Calculus I). Anyone in the MIT community who is familiar with elementary mechanics and who has a good knowledge of algebra (and a little knowledge of calculus) will find the course accessible.
