These notes were written to accompany a course taught in Part III of the

Cambridge University Mathematical Tripos. There are occasional references

to questions on four 'example sheets', which can be found in the Appendix.

The writing of these course notes has greatly bene_tted from discussions

with Gary Gibbons and Stephen Hawking. The organisation of the course

was based on unpublished notes of Gary Gibbons and owes much to the

1972 Les Houches and 1986 Carg_ese lecture notes of Brandon Carter, and

to the 1972 lecture notes of Stephen Hawking. Finally, I am very grateful

to Tim Perkins for typing the notes in LATEX, producing the diagrams, and

putting it all together.
