Abstract

Considering the current interest in alternative theories of General Relativity (GR), we approach some subjects we find useful for the understanding of the Teleparallelism and of the f(T) theories. We thus show the fundamentals of some topics usually necessary during the study of such formalisms and wich can, thereby, act as the basis for the further development of a more sofisticated theoretical background - process through which we transpose these subjects so they can be presented in a more understandable way to undergraduate students. We present a historical retrospective concerning the Gravitation research, as well as a discussion about what the Teleparallelism is. We then show concepts about the following subjects: Group Theory; GaugeTheories; Topology, Differential Geometry and Fiber Bundles; the definition of tetrads and its relation with the internal and external spaces.
