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-Bruhats 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-Nordstrom 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652232896565,"sku":"ByrdShop_0199666466","price":56.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780199666461.jpg?v=1781850155","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/introduction-to-general-relativity-black-holes-and-cosmology-9780199666461","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
