  In these lectures general relativity is outlined as the classical field
theory of gravity, emphasizing physical phenomena rather than mathematical
formalism. Dynamical solutions representing traveling waves as well as
stationary fields like those of black holes are discussed. Their properties are
investigated by studying the geodesic structure of the corresponding
space-times, as representing the motion of point-like test particles. The
interaction between gravitational, electro-magnetic and scalar fields is also
considered.
