Description for Spacetime, Geometry and Gravitation
Hardcover. This book offers an ideal introduction to advanced topics in general relativity. It first presents the basics of the physics and mathematics of relativity, before developing a more detailed mathematical background and exploring basic concepts of the subject. Series: Progress in Mathematical Physics. Num Pages: 369 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBM; PHR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 23. Weight in Grams: 719.
This is an introductory book on the general theory of relativity based partly on lectures given to students of M.Sc. Physics at my university. The book is divided into three parts. The ?rst part is a preliminary course on general relativity with minimum preparation. The second part builds the ma- ematical background and the third part deals with topics where mathematics developed in the second part is needed. The ?rst chapter gives a general background and introduction. This is f- lowed by an introduction to curvature through Gauss’ Theorema Egregium. This theorem expresses the curvature of a two-dimensional surface in ... Read more

Reviews for Spacetime, Geometry and Gravitation
From the reviews: “The book is structured into three parts. The first part … offers preliminary topics on general relativity. … The second part is a comprehensive and accurate incursion in the mathematical background of relativity theory. … The last part, entitled Gravitation, contains six chapters dealing with the Einstein equation … cosmology and special topics. Interesting exercises with ... Read more
