Suitable for a one-semester course in general relativity for senior
undergraduates or beginning graduate students, this text clarifies
the mathematical aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity without
sacrificing physical understanding. The text begins with an
exposition of those aspects of tensor calculus and differential
geometry needed for a proper treatment of the subject. The
discussion then turns to the spacetime of general relativity and to
geodesic motion. A brief consideration of the field equations is
followed by a discussion of physics in the vicinity of massive
objects, including an elementary treatment of black holes and
rotating objects. The main text concludes with introductory
chapters on gravitational radiation and cosmology. This new third
edition has been updated to take account of fresh observational
evidence and experiments.
