General relativity (Physics)

Most popular at the top

  • A First Course in General Relativityby Bernard Schutz

    Cambridge University Press 2009; US$ 60.00

    Second edition of a widely-used textbook providing the first step into general relativity for undergraduate students with minimal mathematical background. more...

  • Relativity In Our Timeby Mendel Sachs

    CRC Press 1993; US$ 52.95

    A publication concerning the relevance of Einstein's theory of relativity to human relations in contemporary times. more...

  • Special Theory of Relativityby David Bohm; Basil Hiley

    Routledge 1996; US$ 35.95

    Based on his famous final year undergraduate lectures on theoretical physics, Bohm presents the theory of relativity as a unified whole, making clear the reasons which led to its adoption, and explaining its basic meaning. more...

  • Exact Solutions of Einstein's Field Equationsby Hans Stephani; Dietrich Kramer; Malcolm MacCallum; Cornelius Hoenselaers; Eduard Herlt; P. V. Landshoff; D. R. Nelson; D. W. Sciama; S. Weinberg

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 84.00

    A completely revised and updated edition of this classic text, covering important new methods and many recently discovered solutions. This book gives a comprehensive review of all known solutions of Einstein's field equations. Indispensable for those working on exact solutions in relativity or using them in physical or mathematical problems. more...

  • General Relativityby Malcolm Ludvigsen

    Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 60.00

    A clear, concise and modern textbook introducing the theory of general relativity for final-year undergraduate maths or physics students. The emphasis is on the geometric structure of spacetime rather than the traditional coordinate-dependent approach. Exercises are provided (with solutions and hints) and key ideas are illustrated with worked examples. more...

  • Energy And Geometryby Fabio Cardone; Roberto Mignani

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 70.20

    Special Relativity (SR) is essentially grounded on the properties of space-time, i.e. isotropy of space and homogeneity of space and time (as a consequence of the equivalence of inertial frames) and on the Galilei principle of relativity. more...

  • General Relativityby M. P. Hobson; G. P. Efstathiou; A. N. Lasenby

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 76.00

    Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this is a clear mathematical introduction to Einstein's theory of general relativity and its physical applications. Concentrating on the theory's physical consequences, this approachable textbook contains over 300 exercises to illuminate and extend the discussion. more...

  • A Relativist's Toolkitby Eric Poisson

    Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 43.00

    This textbook provides the advanced student with practical tools for the computation of many physically interesting quantities in general relativity and gravitational physics. The context is provided by the mathematical theory of black holes, one of the most elegant, successful and relevant applications of general relativity. more...

  • Secrets of the Old Oneby Jeremy Bernstein

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2005; US$ 25.00

    Tells the story of Einstein's papers and their impact. While to a professional physicist the mathematics in these papers is quite straight forward, the ideas behind the mathematics are not. This book aims to make these ideas accessible to a general reader with no more mathematics than one learns in high school. more...

  • Special Relativityby Patricia M. Schwarz; John H. Schwarz

    Cambridge University Press 2004; US$ 76.00

    A thorough and pedagogical introduction to special relativity suitable for anyone with a minimum of one year's university physics with calculus. It uses the most up to date formalism, and includes advanced topics such as higher dimensions, supersymmetry and string theory, making them accessible to the undergaduate physicist or engineer. more...
