Description for Introduction to General Relativity, Black Holes, and Cosmology
Paperback. A precise yet simple introduction to the foundations and main consequences of General Relativity. The first five chapters from Choquet-Bruhat's General Relativity and the Einstein Equations (2008) have been updated with new sections and chapters on black holes, gravitational waves, singularities and more to form this textbook. Num Pages: 300 pages. BIC Classification: PGK; PHR; PHU. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 190 x 246 x 18. Weight in Grams: 592.
General Relativity is a beautiful geometric theory, simple in its mathematical formulation but leading to numerous consequences with striking physical interpretations: gravitational waves, black holes, cosmological models, and so on. This introductory textbook is written for mathematics students interested in physics and physics students interested in exact mathematical formulations (or for anyone with a scientific mind who is curious to know more of the world we live in), recent remarkable experimental and observational results which confirm the theory are clearly described and no specialised physics knowledge is required. The mathematical level of Part A is aimed ... Read more

Reviews for Introduction to General Relativity, Black Holes, and Cosmology
very concise...Recommended.
E. Kincanon, CHOICE
[F]or a reader who already knows some general relativity, Choquet-Bruhat's book is an ideal introduction to the mathematical approach.
