General relativity is now an essential part of undergraduate and
graduate courses in physics, astrophysics and applied mathematics.
This simple, user-friendly introduction to relativity is ideal for
a first course in the subject. Beginning with a comprehensive but
simple review of special relativity, the book creates a framework
from which to launch the ideas of general relativity. After
describing the basic theory, it moves on to describe important
applications to astrophysics, black hole physics, and cosmology.
Several worked examples, and numerous figures and images, help
students appreciate the underlying concepts. There are also 180
exercises which test and develop students' understanding of the
subject. The textbook presents all the necessary information and
discussion for an elementary approach to relativity.
Password-protected solutions to the exercises are available to
instructors at www.cambridge.org/9780521735612.
