Theory of Relativity & Analytic Dynamics: Handwritten Notes

These are the notes of Prof. (Rtd) Asmat Ullah, Government College Sargodha, which is now University of Sargodha. Most of analytic dynamics topics are covered by these notes and very few topic of theory of relativity are given. But still these notes are helpful.
