Introducing General Relativity An accessible and engaging
introduction to general relativity for undergraduates In
Introducing General Relativity, the authors deliver a structured
introduction to the core concepts and applications of General
Relativity. The book leads readers from the basic ideas of
relativity--including the Equivalence Principle and curved
space-time--to more advanced topics, like Solar System tests and
gravitational wave detection. Each chapter contains practice
problems designed to engage undergraduate students of mechanics,
electrodynamics, and special relativity. A wide range of classical
and modern topics are covered in detail, from exploring
observational successes and astrophysical implications to
explaining many popular principles, like space-time, redshift,
black holes, gravitational waves and cosmology. Advanced topic
sections introduce the reader to more detailed mathematical
approaches and complex ideas, and prepare them for the exploration
of more specialized and sophisticated texts. Introducing General
Relativity also offers: Structured outlines to the concepts of
General Relativity and a wide variety of its applications
Comprehensive explorations of foundational ideas in General
Relativity, including space-time curvature and tensor calculus
Practical discussions of classical and modern topics in relativity,
from space-time to redshift, gravity, black holes, and
gravitational waves Optional, in-depth sections covering the
mathematical approaches to more advanced ideas Perfect for
undergraduate physics students who have studied mechanics,
dynamics, and Special Relativity, Introducing General Relativity is
an essential resource for those seeking an intermediate level
discussion of General Relativity placed between the more
qualitative books and graduate-level textbooks.
