This textbook is suitable for a one-semester introduction to
General Relativity for advanced undergraduates in physics and
engineering. The book is concise so that the entire material can be
covered in the one-semester time frame. Many of the calculations
are done in detail, without difficult mathematics, to help the
students. Though concise, the theory development is lucid and the
readers are exposed to possible analytic calculations.In the second
edition, the famous twin paradox with acceleration is solved in
full from the accelerated observer's frame. The findings of the
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, who captured the first
ever image of a black hole, are discussed in detail. The geodetic
and frame drag precessions of gyroscopes in orbit about a rotating
Earth are worked out and the Gravity Probe B (GPB) experiment is
discussed. Also in the second edition are some new exercise
problems.Resources are provided to instructors who adopt this
textbook for their courses. Adopting instructors can print and copy
portions of these resources solely for their teaching needs. All
instructional resources are furnished for informational use only,
and are subject to change without notice.
