I just finished Multivariate calculus and I am wondering what sequence of books would allow me to work up to the mathematical knowledge needed to understand General Relativity and the corresponding field equations?

Is Dirac's self contained? – AppleBottoms4 Dec 15 '20 at 05:00

There's a lot to learn, I suggest you to study these first: linear algebra, ordinary and some partial differential equations , tensor calculus, some differential geometry. Then you'll be set to go. Check Lewis Ryder Introduction to General Relativity. It also has nice chapters on differential geometry. – Monopole Dec 15 '20 at 19:54
