General Relativity is a beautiful geometric theory, simple in its
mathematical formulation but leading to numerous consequences with
striking physical interpretations: gravitational waves, black
holes, cosmological models, and so on. This introductory textbook
is written for mathematics students interested in physics and
physics students interested in exact mathematical formulations (or
for anyone with a scientific mind who is curious to know more of
the world we live in), recent remarkable experimental and
observational results which confirm the theory are clearly
described and no specialised physics knowledge is required. The
mathematical level of Part A is aimed at undergraduate students and
could be the basis for a course on General Relativity. Part B is
more advanced, but still does not require sophisticated
mathematics. Based on Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat's more advanced text,
General Relativity and the Einstein Equations, the aim of this book
is to give with precision, but as simply as possible, the
foundations and main consequences of General Relativity. The first
five chapters from General Relativity and the Einstein Equations
have been updated with new sections and chapters on black holes,
gravitational waves, singularities, and the Reissner-Nordstroem and
interior Schwarzchild solutions. The rigour behind this book will
provide readers with the perfect preparation to follow the great
mathematical progress in the actual development, as well as the
ability to model, the latest astrophysical and cosmological
observations. The book presents basic General Relativity and
provides a basis for understanding and using the fundamental
theory.
