General Relativity
The following page links point to the solutions to problems that I've been working on from a great book on introductory General Relativity. The author, Bernard F. Schutz, has a very "mathematical" approach to Physics. His book starts with Special Relativity and leads you to an understanding of black holes and cosmology through mathematics.
This is the book:
"A first course in general relativity"

After working out the problems at the end of each chapter on paper, I typeset them using LaTeX. I'm using the standard AMS-LaTeX that comes with RedHat Linux. However, I am also using an add-on called "mfpic" which allows you to insert really nice graphics into your TeX or LaTeX documents. It is based on METAFONT which also comes with the standard Linux distribution.
Here is one place where you can get mfpic:
