Description for A General Relativity Workbook
Paperback. This general relativity textbook helps students develop a solid mastery of both the physics and the supporting tensor calculus. The unique workbook-based design fosters active-learning by explaining key concepts before guiding students through working out the processes. More than 350 additional problems support students' learning. Num Pages: 500 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PHR. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 276 x 216 x 25. Weight in Grams: 1162.
General relativity, which lies at the heart of contemporary physics, has recently become the focus of a number of lively theoretical, experimental, and computational research programs. As a result, undergraduates have become increasingly excited to learn about the subject.
A General Relativity Workbook is a textbook intended to support a one-semester upper division undergraduate course on general relativity. Through its unique workbook-based design, it enables students to develop a solid mastery of both the physics and the supporting tensor calculus by pushing (and guiding) them to work through the implications. Each chapter, which is designed to correspond to ... Read more

Reviews for A General Relativity Workbook
'Moore's workbook makes General Relativity accessible to undergraduates who have seen little or none of the underlying mathematical framework. This is achieved not by watering down the contents, but rather by systematically guiding readers to work everything out themselves until they own the concepts and the mathematical techniques. It is indeed a workbook, which I trust will be a great ... Read more
