This volume is to facilitate undergraduate and graduate students in theory of relativity and help them in their studies of High Energy Physics and Cosmology. The presentation has been kept simple and sufficient details have been provided in order to facilitate the understanding of the subject. The problems have also been selected to clarify the presentation and solutions of selected problems are given for better understanding of the contents.
