There is little doubt that Einstein's theory of relativity captures
the imagination. Not only has it radically altered the way we view
the universe, but the theory also has a considerable number of
surprises in store. This is especially so in the three main topics
of current interest that this book reaches, namely: black holes,
gravitational waves, and cosmology. The main aim of this textbook
is to provide students with a sound mathematical introduction
coupled to an understanding of the physical insights needed to
explore the subject. Indeed, the book follows Einstein in that it
introduces the theory very much from a physical point of view.
After introducing the special theory of relativity, the basic field
equations of gravitation are derived and discussed carefully as a
prelude to first solving them in simple cases and then exploring
the three main areas of application. This new edition contains a
substantial extension content that considers new and updated
developments in the field. Topics include coverage of the
advancement of observational cosmology, the detection of
gravitational waves from colliding black holes and neutron stars,
and advancements in modern cosmology. Einstein's theory of
relativity is undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of the
human mind. Yet, in this book, the author makes it possible for
students with a wide range of abilities to deal confidently with
the subject. Based on both authors' experience teaching the subject
this is achieved by breaking down the main arguments into a series
of simple logical steps. Full details are provided in the text and
the numerous exercises while additional insight is provided through
the numerous diagrams. As a result this book makes an excellent
course for any reader coming to the subject for the first time
while providing a thorough understanding for any student wanting to
go on to study the subject in depth
