Describing concepts and experimental results, this text provides an account of formalism. A review of special relativity precedes a discussion of the equivalence principle and its implications. Other subjects covered include black holes, concepts of curvature and the Schwarzschild metric.
General relativity is discussed in this book. It describes concepts and experimental results, and provides an account of formalism. A review of special relativity is followed by a discussion of the equivalence principle and its implications. Other topics covered include concepts of curvature and the Schwarzschild metric, tests of the theory of relativity, black holes and their properties, gravitational radiation and methods for its detection, the impact of general relativity on cosmology and the continuing search for a quantum theory of gravity. The book also contains a set of worked examples and background appendices.
