Abstract
The purpose of these lectures was to give a survey of Einstein’s theory of gravitation. Since special astrophysical topics have been covered by other lecturers and the principal mathematical tools of general relativity were also considered separately, I tried to concentrate on the general structure of the theory and the connection between physical and mathematical concepts and ideas; examples and applications have been mentioned briefly only.
