James Hartle RIP: Remembering a Beloved GR Teacher

James Hartle has died.

A few years ago I had the pleasure of using his text to teach an undergrad GR course.

(It seems Wikipedia has not been updated yet.)
Here's an announcement https://www.physics.ucsb.edu/news/announcement/2133

Here are slides from a talk by Hartle about his textbook from
AAPT Topical Workshop: Teaching General Relativity to Undergraduates, Syracuse University, July 20-21, 2006
