It is important for every physicist today to have a working
knowledge of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Introduction
to General Relativity published in 2007 was aimed at first-year
graduate students, or advanced undergraduates, in physics. Only a
basic understanding of classical lagrangian mechanics is assumed;
beyond that, the reader should find the material to be
self-contained.The mechanics problem of a point mass constrained to
move without friction on a two-dimensional surface of arbitrary
shape serves as a paradigm for the development of the mathematics
and physics of general relativity. Special relativity is reviewed.
The basic principles of general relativity are then presented, and
the most important applications are discussed. The final special
topics section takes the reader up to a few areas of current
research. An extensive set of accessible problems enhances and
extends the coverage.As a learning and teaching tool, this current
book provides solutions to those problems. This text and solutions
manual are meant to provide an introduction to the subject. It is
hoped that these books will allow the reader to approach the more
advanced texts and monographs, as well as the continual influx of
fascinating new experimental results, with a deeper understanding
and sense of appreciation.
