A: Possibly, as a supplement . University courses use different notation and emphasize different proofs (e.g., the Einstein-Hilbert action). But Susskind will give you the conceptual skeleton.

In the world of physics education, there is a distinct gap between popular science books—which rely on metaphors and watered-down analogies—and rigorous graduate-level textbooks—which demand a fluency in complex mathematics that most laypeople do not possess. Bridging this gap is the celebrated series by legendary physicist Leonard Susskind and science writer George Hrabovsky: The Theoretical Minimum .

where $R_ij$ is the Ricci tensor, $R$ is the Ricci scalar, $g_ij$ is the metric tensor, $G$ is the gravitational constant, $c$ is the speed of light, and $T_ij$ is the stress-energy tensor.

A: No. The authors own the copyright. However, many public libraries (including the Internet Archive’s controlled digital lending) offer temporary borrows. Check your local library’s ebook portal.
