General relativity and cosmology : a first encounter
By: Adler, Ronald J.
Series: Graduate texts in physics. / edited by Kurt H. Becker ...[et al.].Publisher: Switzerland Springer 2021Description: xiv, 313p.ISBN: 9783030615734.Subject(s): Mathematical physics | CosmologyDDC classification: 530.11 | Ad59g Summary: Gravitational physics has now become a mainstream topic in physics and physics teaching. In particular cosmology and gravitational wave physics are at the focus of a great deal of current research. Thus it is important to introduce students to General Relativity as soon as reasonable. This textbook offers a brief but comprehensive treatment accessible to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and any physicist or mathematician interested in understanding the material in a short time. The author, an experienced teacher of the subject, has included numerous examples and exercises to help students consolidate the ideas they have learned.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
