Recensione
' ... written for final-year undergraduates mathematics or physics students ... This short, elegant book describes the major ideas of special and general relativity with unprecedented clarity and mathematical depth.' Physics Today
'Ludvigsen's book provides us with an elegant modern introduction to Einstein's general relativity; it is comprehensive, brief and very readable.' Professor Sir Roger Penrose, Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford
' ... a clear, clean, concise introduction to mathematical general relativity. It is a pleasure to see so many important topics discussed with such economy and care.' Professor Bernard F. Schutz, Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, Potsdam
'The author has done a good work. The book is pedagogic and reads easily ... this book is recommended for undergraduate studies both in physics and in mathematics and also for faculty libraries ...'. A. F. Ranada, European Journal of Physics
'... the book introduces many refreshing novelties to the subject ... Malcolm Ludvigsen's book is never dull and this is a major thing in its favour'. Graham S. Hall, General Relativity and Gravitation
Descrizione del libro
A clear and concise 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.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Starting with the idea of an event and finishing with a description of the standard big-bang model of the Universe, this textbook provides a clear, concise and up-to-date introduction to the theory of general relativity, suitable for final-year undergraduate mathematics or physics students. Throughout, the emphasis is on the geometric structure of spacetime, rather than the traditional coordinate-dependent approach. This allows the theory to be pared down and presented in its simplest and most elegant form. Topics covered include flat spacetime (special relativity), Maxwell fields, the energy-momentum tensor, spacetime curvature and gravity, Schwarzschild and Kerr spacetimes, black holes and singularities, and cosmology. In developing the theory, all physical assumptions are clearly spelled out and the necessary mathematics is developed along with the physics. Exercises are provided at the end of each chapter and key ideas in the text are illustrated with worked examples. Solutions and hints to selected problems are also provided at the end of the book.This textbook will enable the student to develop a sound understanding of the theory of general relativity, and all the necessary mathematical machinery. A 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 co-ordinate-dependent approach. Exercises are provided (with solutions and hints) and key ideas are illustrated with worked examples. This item is printed on demand.
