Description for An Introduction To The Relativistic Theo
Hardback. This primer introduces classical general relativity with emphasis on the clarity of conceptual structure and on the basic mathematical methods to build up, systematically, application skills. End-of-chapter exercises complete the main text. Translator(s): Meyer, Frank; Metzger, Jan. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 293 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 1310.
The contemporary theoretical physics consists, by and large, of two independent parts. The rst is the quantum theory describing the micro-world of elementary p- ticles, the second is the theory of gravity that concerns properties of macroscopic systems such as stars, galaxies, and the universe. The relativistic theory of gr- itation which is known as general relativity was created, at the beginning of the last century, by more or less a single man from pure idea combinations and bold guessing. The task was to “marry” the theory of gravity with the theory of special relativity. The rst attempts were aimed ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction To The Relativistic Theo
From the reviews: “This text on the physical theory of gravitation … is primarily aimed at students who wish to proceed with further study in astrophysics and cosmology, and the approach as well as the choice of topics reflects this. … The book would be most useful for postgraduate physics students aiming to work in cosmology or astrophysics, but ...
