Einstein's theory of relativity attracts science students to theoretical physics and astronomy. Black holes give us a clear example of cosmic objects where effects of strong gravity dominate and where mathematics is essential for their proper description and understanding. After three decades of astonishing discoveries, astronomers are finding black holes in numerous stellar systems: these objects may have been critical to the formation of structure in the early universe as well as to violent explosions at late evolutionary stages of massive stars. We describe an introductory course in gravitational physics that has been carried out in Prague Astronomical Institute. During the course, basic concepts and physical processes are discussed and interesting recent results are mentioned, including images of astronomical objects. We also mention modern techniques that have been employed to obtain these results. Supplementary notes are available to students for download from the Web.
