Norman Gray: Teaching
Undergraduate teaching
- Astronomy 2: Special Relativity
- I taught this part of
A2 in sessions
2000-01 and 2001-02.
This is a public version of the notes, complete apart from tutorial
answers and a few other bits of support. The canonical URL for this
is
http://purl.org/nxg/text/special-relativity.
- Astronomy 3/4/5: General Relativity I
- This is one of the Year B courses of A3/4/5. There's also
a public version of the notes (without worked problems, and missing
some typo-fixes) at
http://purl.org/nxg/text/general-relativity.
- Numerical Astronomy: Inverse Problems
- (biennial presentation) I taught this in session 1998-99, and then
it passed to Richard Barrett in 2000-01. Then (2002-03) it was
taught by Graham Woan.
And then it changed its name.
However, the notes I assembled are still available.
DACE teaching
Teaching in the Department of Adult and Continuing Education
- Fundamental Physics and the Nature of
Reality.
- A ten-lecture course periodically offered by DACE
(most recently in session 1999-2000); sometimes offered via the
internet (most recently in session 2000-1).
- Astronomy in the Third Millenium: Special and
General Relativity

Astronomy in the Third Millennium, 2002.
- Einstein's
searches for a fundamental theory
- My overheads and notes as part of the DACE day-school on
Einstein's Legacy, held in 2005.
- Modern Cosmology
[3.5MB download -- oops!]
- Slides for a talk on `modern cosmology', as part of a DACE
day-school on Cosmologies, 2006 November 25. I did the
modern cosmology bit; others did Hindu/Buddhist, Mayan and Greek
cosmology.
