Gravitational Waves: The Past and the Future

<!--HTML--><p>Gravitational waves detection and measurements, the discovery of which was announced to the world in 2016, is a fast moving field. Several events have been&nbsp;detected in LIGO and LIGO+VIRGO, and in spectacular coincidence with gamma ray burst&nbsp;detectors. Clearly we are just at the start of this fast developing discipline.&nbsp;These lectures will discuss the experimental aspects of gravitational wave detection,&nbsp;the information gathered from the present experimental results&nbsp;and the road ahead&nbsp;for these experiments.</p>
