TASI Lectures on Gravitational Waves from the Early Universe
General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract
These lectures discuss how the direct detection of gravitational waves can be used to probe the very early Universe. We review the main cosmological mechanisms which could have produced relic gravitational waves, and compare theoretical predictions with capabilities and time scales of current and upcoming experiments.
