Whilst there is not a specific OU maths course on differential geometry (although there used to be) the closest link would be to the astronomy/physics course S383 which is the relativistic universe<br />part 1 of which includes an introduction to Einstein's theory of relativity.Chris Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03530660309554429226noreply@blogger.com
