Gravitational Lensing

Abstract
This is the main lecture on gravitational lensing that covers general theory,
strong lensing, microlensing and weak lensing. Both theory and observational
aspects are discusses.
The lecture is given by Peter Schneider and
me. Lecture notes (mostly Schneider, some additions from me) are available on
request.
Most of the lecture consists of blackboard calculations. Below you find a
supplementary presentation for one of the chapters.
