Short Course in General Relativity - Foster James
Suitable for a one-semester course in general relativity for senior undergraduates or beginning graduate students, this text clarifies the mathematical aspects of Einstein's theory of relativity without sacrificing physical understanding.The text begins with an exposition of those aspects of tensor calculus and differential geometry needed for a proper treatment of the subject. A brief consideration of the field equations is followed by a discussion of physics in the vicinity of massive objects, including an elementary treatment of black holes and rotating objects. The discussion then turns to the spacetime of general relativity and to geodesic motion.
It includes new The main text concludes with introductory chapters on gravitational radiation and cosmology.This new third edition has been updated to take account of fresh observational evidence and experiments.
