Description for Analytical and Numerical Approaches to Mathematical Relativity
Hardback. General relativity ranks among the most accurately tested fundamental theories in all of physics. Deficiencies in mathematical and conceptual understanding still exist, hampering further progress. This title collects surveys by experts in mathematical relativity writing about the current status of, and problems in, their fields. Editor(s): Frauendiener, Jorg; Giulini, Domenico J. W.; Perlick, Volker. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 298 pages, 2 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 17. Weight in Grams: 597.
The general theory of relativity, as formulated by Albert Einstein in 1915, provided an astoundingly original perspective on the physical nature of gr- itation, showing that it could be understood as a feature of a curvature in the four-dimensional continuum of space-time. Now, some 90 years later, this extraordinary theory stands in superb agreement with observation, prov- ing a profound accord between the theory and the actual physical behavior of astronomical bodies, which sometimes attains a phenomenal precision (in one case to about one part in one hundred million million, where several d- ferent non-Newtonian e?ects, including the emission of ...
