A rigorous, problem‑driven guide to four‑dimensional space–time and gravitation, built around concrete methods and Einstein’s ideas.
This edition presents a careful treatment of the metric space around a gravitating center, the paths of material particles and light, and how different observers relate their natural coordinate systems. It emphasizes a tensor form for the laws of physics and includes detailed problem work that guides readers through the core calculations of relativity.
Readers will encounter:
Ideal for students and professionals who want a clear, quantitative approach to relativity and gravitation, using concrete problems to build understanding.
