Synopsis

Technologists: This book will tell you things you never knew and bring you to understanding younever had. The book escorts you (engineers, architects, economists, actuaries, science and mathteachers, military officers, and hungry science aficionados) through the science of gravitation, special relativity, and general relativity, including gravitational waves. If you have taken a coupleof college-level calculus courses, you will still remember your high school mathematics ofgeometry, algebra, and trigonometry, the dialect in which this book speaks. While the book speaksin high school math, it repays your company with your hmms, aaahs, and wows.Written in high school math, this book relates its science in rigorous, axiomatic style, formallyderiving results from generally accepted scientific first principles - the laws. The book presentstheory with examples of: classical orbits, the Cavendish experiment, tides, Lagrange points, flatspacetime geometry, mass-energy equivalence, particle collisions, photon-electron interaction, curved spacetime geometry-as-gravitation, black holes, gravitational lenses, gravitational collapse, general relativity tests of photon red-shift, geodetic gyroscope precession, Shapiro radar delay, precession of perihelion of Mercury's orbit, light bending; gravitational waves, gravitational waveobservation. Yes. This book presents extensive results of gravitation and general relativity, derived in high school math from generally accepted first principles of science, in a logicallyrigorous ma
