Differential Geometry and General Relativity : Volume 1, Hardback Book

Differential Geometry and General Relativity : Volume 1 Hardback

Part of the Graduate Texts in Physics series

Hardback

Description

This book, the first in a three-volume set, explains general relativity using the mathematical tool of differential geometry.

The book consists of ten chapters, the first five of which introduce differential geometry, which is widely applicable even outside the field of relativity.

Chapter 6 analyzes special relativity using geometric language.

In turn, the last four chapters introduce readers to the fundamentals of general relativity.

Intended for beginners, this volume includes numerous exercises and worked-out example in each chapter to facilitate the learning experience.

Chiefly written for graduate-level courses, the book’s content will also benefit upper-level undergraduate students, and can be used as a reference guide for practicing theoretical physicists.
