Description for General Relativity
Hardcover. 132 pages, 1, black & white illustrations. Discusses general relativistic effects for readers who have knowledge of classical mechanics and electrodynamics, including special relativity. This work also covers gravitational lensing, signal retardation in the gravitational field of the Sun, the Reissner-Nordstrom solution, and the entropy and temperature of black holes. Cateogry: (P) Professional & Vocational. BIC Classification: PHR. Dimension: 244 x 161 x 13. Weight: 344.
The book is based on the course on general relativity given regularly at the Physics Department of Novosibirsk University. The course, lasting for one semester, consists of 32 hours of lectures and 32 hours of tutorials, plus ho- work of 10 – 12 problems. The exam is passed by 30 – 35 students. The results of the homework and exam give good reasons to believe that at least 20 – 25 of these students really digest the subject. The course requires of students the knowledge of analytical mechanics and classical electrodynamics, including special relativity. Only chapters 7 and 10 of ... Read more

Reviews for General Relativity
"The book General Relativity by Iosif Khriplovich presents a concise course on theory of gravity. In spite of its limited size of only 116 pages, this book covers the main theoretical notions and experimental phenomena. The author does it in a quite instructive way emphasizing underlying physics. Particularly impressive in this respect are chapters on observable effects, spin interaction, gravitational ... Read more
