Book 20 of 46: International series of monographs in natural philosophy
Synopsis
Introduction to General Relativity is an introductory text on the concepts and modes of calculation used in general relativity. Topics covered range from Newton's laws of motion and the Galilean transformation to tensor analysis, equations of motion of free particles, electromagnetism, and gravitational fields and waves. Solutions of the field equations are also given. The emphasis is on the actual performance of relativistic calculations, rather than on mathematical rigor or exhaustive completeness.This volume is comprised of nine chapters and begins with an overview of the theory of relativity, which includes special relativity and general relativity. The discussion then turns to Newton's laws of motion and the Galilean transformation, electromagnetism and the Galilean transformation, and the Lorentz transformation. Subsequent chapters explore tensor analysis; equations of motion of free particles; gravitational fields and waves; relativity in cosmology; and unified theories and quantized theories of general relativity. The final chapter is devoted to Minkowski's coordinates and orthogonal transformations.This book will be a valuable resource for students of physics.

Introduction To General Relativity
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Introduction to General Relativity (1974) by H.A. Atwater ? Sold by Crappy Old Books Ever wanted to bend your mind around the curvature of space-time but got lost somewhere between Newton and Einstein? Introduction to General Relativity by H.A. Atwater is the 1974 no-frills guide to warping your brain just enough to understand gravity as geometry. Published by the ever-serious Pergamon Press, this textbook offers a sober, rigorous, and refreshingly jargon-minimal approach to one of the most mind-bending theories in physics. Inside you?ll find a solid grounding in tensors, geodesics, and the Einstein field equations, all wrapped in that unmistakably ?70s academic aesthetic?dense type, unyielding logic, and the occasional diagram that looks like it was drawn during a caffeine-fueled lecture break. It?s ideal for physics students, mathematically inclined masochists, or anyone looking to relive their graduate school nightmares. Condition: Light foxing, heavy gravity. Previous owner scribbled "help" in the margins of Chapter 5. Still holds together better than most cosmological models. Crappy Old Books: Because some black holes are found on your bookshelf.
