Description for The General Theory of Relativity Hardcover. Providing a number of precise solutions not covered in many of the standard textbooks, this volume presents and proves, through rigorous and lucid notation, a number of elegant theorems which have important consequences in general relativity theory. Num Pages: 704 pages, 5 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 239 x 163 x 43. Weight in Grams: 1206.

The General Theory of Relativity: A Mathematical Exposition will serve readers as a modern mathematical introduction to the general theory of relativity. Throughout the book, examples, worked-out problems, and exercises (with hints and solutions) are furnished. Topics in this book include, but are not limited to: 

tensor analysis 
the special theory of relativity 
the general theory of relativity and Einstein’s field equations 
spherically symmetric solutions and experimental confirmations 
static and stationary space-time domains 
black holes 
cosmological models 
algebraic classifications and the Newman-Penrose equations 
the coupled Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon equations 
appendices covering mathematical supplements and special topics
Mathematical rigor, yet very ... Read more
