This undergraduate textbook provides a simple, concise introduction
to tensor algebra and analysis, as well as special and general
relativity. With a plethora of examples, explanations, and
exercises, it forms a well-rounded didactic text that will be
useful for any related course. The book is divided into three main
parts, all based on lecture notes that have been refined for
classroom teaching over the past two decades. Part I provides
students with a comprehensive overview of tensors. Part II links
the very introductory first part and the relatively advanced third
part, demonstrating the important intermediate-level applications
of tensor analysis. Part III contains an extended discussion of
general relativity, and includes material useful for students
interested primarily in quantum field theory and quantum gravity.
Tailored to the undergraduate, this textbook offers explanations of
technical material not easily found or detailed elsewhere,
including an understandable description of Riemann normal
coordinates and conformal transformations. Future theoretical and
experimental physicists, as well as mathematicians, will thus find
it a wonderful first read on the subject.
