This book is based on a set of 18 class-tested lectures delivered
to fourth-year physics undergraduates at Grifi th University in
Brisbane, and the book presents new discoveries by the Nobel-prize
winning LIGO collaboration. The author begins with a review of
special relativity and tensors and then develops the basic elements
of general relativity (a beautiful theory that unifies special
relativity and gravitation via geometry) with applications to the
gravitational deflection of light, global positioning systems,
black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmology. The book provides
readers with a solid understanding of the underlying physical
concepts; an ability to appreciate and in many cases derive
important applications of the theory; and a solid grounding for
those wishing to pursue their studies further. General Relativity:
An Introduction to Black Holes, Gravitational Waves, and Cosmology
also connects general relativity with broader topics. There is no
doubt that general relativity is an active and exciting field of
physics, and this book successfully transmits that excitement to
readers.
