Introduction to General Relativity and Cosmology gives
undergraduate students an overview of the fundamental ideas behind
the geometric theory of gravitation and spacetime. Through pointers
on how to modify and generalise Einstein's theory to enhance
understanding, it provides a link between standard textbook content
and current research in the field.Chapters present complicated
material practically and concisely, initially dealing with the
mathematical foundations of the theory of relativity, in particular
differential geometry. This is followed by a discussion of the
Einstein field equations and their various properties. Also given
is analysis of the important Schwarzschild solutions, followed by
application of general relativity to cosmology. Questions with
fully worked answers are provided at the end of each chapter to aid
comprehension and guide learning. This pared down textbook is
specifically designed for new students looking for a workable,
simple presentation of some of the key theories in modern physics
and mathematics.
