It is intended for advanced undergraduates and graduate students who want to start working in this rapidly evolving field. This includes also senior researchers who are interested in ongoing or future surveys and missions such as DES, Euclid, WFIRST, LSST. The reader is guided through many fascinating topics related to gravitational lensing like the structure of our galaxy, the searching for exoplanets, the investigation of dark matter in galaxies and galaxy clusters, and several aspects of cosmology, including dark energy and the cosmic microwave background. The author, who has gained valuable experience as academic teacher, guides the readers towards the comprehension of the theory of gravitational lensing and related observational techniques by using simple codes written in python. This approach, beyond facilitating the understanding of gravitational lensing, is preparatory for learning the python programming language which is gaining large popularity both in academia and in the private sector. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x1616-6361 ;$v956 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aMathematical physics 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 606 $aCosmology 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics 606 $aAstrophysics 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aMathematical physics. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 14$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 615 24$aCosmology. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics. 615 24$aAstrophysics. 676 $a523.112 676 $a523.112 700 $aMeneghetti$b Massimo$f1974-$01252354 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910508441103321 996 $aIntroduction to gravitational lensing$92903300 997 $aUNINA
