Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this new
textbook contains an introduction to the mathematical concepts used
in physics and engineering. The entire book is unique in that it
draws upon applications from physics, rather than mathematical
examples, to ensure students are fully equipped with the tools they
need. This approach prepares the reader for advanced topics, such
as quantum mechanics and general relativity, while offering
examples, problems, and insights into classical physics. The book
is also distinctive in the coverage it devotes to modelling, and to
oft-neglected topics such as Green's functions.
Einstein's theories of special relativity and general relativity
form a core part of today's undergraduate (or Masters-level)
physics curriculum. This is a supplementary problem book or
student's manual, consisting of 150 problems in each of special and
general relativity. The problems, which have been developed, tested
and refined by the authors over the past two decades, are a mixture
of short-form and multi-part extended problems, with hints provided
where appropriate. Complete solutions are elaborated for every
problem, in a different section of the book; some solutions include
brief discussions on their physical or historical significance.
Designed as a companion text to complement a main relativity
textbook, it does not assume access to any specific textbook. This
is a helpful resource for advanced students, for self-study, a
source of problems for university teaching assistants, or as
inspiration for instructors and examiners constructing problems for
their lectures, homework or exams.
