General relativity (Physics)

Most popular at the top

  • Quantum Physics Without Quantum Philosophyby Detlef Dürr; Sheldon Goldstein; Nino Zanghì

    Springer 2012; US$ 119.99

    It has often been claimed that without drastic conceptual innovations a genuine explanation of quantum interference effects and quantum randomness is impossible. This book concerns Bohmian mechanics, a simple particle theory that is a counterexample to such claims. The gentle introduction and other contributions collected here show how the phenomena... more...

  • BLACK HOLES, COSMOLOGY AND EXTRA DIMENSIONSby Kirill A. Bronnikov; Sergey G. Rubin

    World Scientific Publishing Company 2012; US$ 163.00

    Assuming foundational knowledge of special and general relativity, this book guides the reader on issues surrounding black holes, wormholes, cosmology, and extra dimensions. Its first part is devoted to local strong field configurations (black holes and wormholes) in general relativity and the most relevant of alternative theories: scalar–tensor,... more...

  • Allgemeine Relativitätstheorieby Torsten Fließbach

    Springer 2012; US$ 39.99

    Dieses Buch gibt eine Einführung in die Allgemeine Relativitätstheorie, also in Einsteins relativistische Theorie der Gravitation. Zu den behandelten Anwendungen der Theorie gehören Experimente im Sonnensystem, Gravitationswellen, Sterne und der Kosmos. Die Darstellung bewegt sich auf dem Niveau einer Kursvorlesung in Theoretischer Physik,... more...

  • Special Relativityby Domenico Giulini

    OUP Oxford 2005; US$ 16.99

    Special relativity provides the foundations of our knowledge of space and time. Without it, our understanding of the world, and its place in the universe, would be unthinkable. This book gives a concise, elementary, yet exceptionally modern, introduction to special relativity. It is a gentle yet serious 'first encounter', in that it conveys... more...

  • Lesebuch Mathematik für das erste Studienjahrby Joachim Hilgert

    Springer 2013; US$ 19.95

    Dieses Buch ist eine Begleitlektüre zum ersten Jahr des Mathematikstudiums und darüber hinaus. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Motivation und Erläuterung der zentralen Begriffsbildungen anhand von Beispielen und exemplarischen Resultaten. Ausgehend von den elementarsten und historisch frühesten mathematischen Konzepten des Messens und Zählens... more...

  • The Special Theory of Relativityby David Bohm

    Taylor and Francis 1996; US$ 35.95

    Based on his famous final year undergraduate lectures on theoretical physics at Birkbeck College, Bohm presents the theory of relativity as a unified whole, making clear the reasons which led to its adoption and explaining its basic meaning. With clarity and grace, he also reveals the limited truth of some of the "common sense" assumptions which make... more...

  • General Relativityby Malcolm Ludvigsen

    Cambridge University Press 1999; US$ 64.00

    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...

  • 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...

  • Secrets of the Old Oneby Jeremy Bernstein

    Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 19.99

    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...

  • Modern Canonical Quantum General Relativityby Thomas Thiemann

    Cambridge University Press 2007; US$ 74.00

    Canonical quantisation and loop quantum gravity theory for graduate students of quantum field theory. more...
