Book Description | Based on a course taught for years at Oxford, this book offers a concise exposition of the central ideas of general relativity. The focus is on the chain of reasoning that leads to the relativistic theory from the analysis of distance and time measurements in the presence of gravity, rather than on the underlying mathematical structure. Includes links to recent developments, including theoretical work and observational evidence, to encourage further study. |
Editorial Review | This book introduces General Relativity at students level, especially intended for final year mathematics students. Different from other books with the same title, it really goes into the geometric details and tries to explain the given formulae ... . The appendices present exercises and hints to their solutions. |
