Forty-five physics faculty from nearly as many universities met at Syracuse University on July 20 and 21, 2006 to share and improve ways to teach general relativity to undergraduates.  Some participants were university and college faculty who already teach or have taught general relativity to undergraduates and some were looking for ways to introduce concepts of general relativity into an existing physics curriculum. 

The LIGO Project, the Center for Gravitational Wave Physics at Penn State, the American Association of Physics Teachers, and the Syracuse University Department of Physics supported this workshop.  The publishing firms Pearson Addison Wesley and Cambridge University Press made generous distributions of current textbooks on general relativity.

Visiting experts contributed articles (listed at left) and gave talks (listed at right) on gravitational radiation and LIGO, on deviations from Newtonian gravitation and GPS, and on black holes. They particularly emphasized how to use these topics to present important ideas of general relativity to undergraduates.

Participants presented posters, many of which were then contributed for publication in these online proceedings. To see these click on Posters.

The participants worked together to describe different ways to teach general relativity to undergraduates.  They recognized that different approaches were required for different circumstances. To see their ideas and suggestions go to Approaches.
