Description
Specifications
General relativity has become the central gateway of theoretical physics, with significant applications in astrophysics and high-energy particle physics - the scientific education of the modern theoretical physicist cannot be conceived without knowledge of this subject.
The handbook - based on the author's teaching during university courses - develops general relativity and its necessary mathematics, starting from elementary concepts and methodically leading the physical understanding to an exceptionally high level.
The understanding is enhanced by the detailed study of the most important applications of the theory - neutron stars, black holes, gravitational waves, cosmology - that is, the most recent achievements and 'current' discoveries of astronomy are used as examples.
The 12 chapters of the book are complemented by appendices and numerous exercises, which range from simple and easy to very difficult. Some require the use of a computer. Examples, results, and suggestions for solving the exercises are also provided.
