An Introduction to General Relativity and Cosmology.
Plebanski, Jerzy.

An Introduction to General Relativity and Cosmology.[electronic resource]. - Leiden :Cambridge University Press,2006. - 556 p.

Cover; Half-title; Title; Copyright; Contents; Figures; The scope of this text; Acknowledgements; 1 How the theory of relativity came into being (a brief historical sketch); 1.1 Special versus general relativity; 1.2 Space and inertia in Newtonian physics; 1.3 Newton�� theory and the orbits of planets; 1.4 The basic assumptions of general relativity; 2 A short sketch of 2-dimensional differential geometry; 3 Tensors, tensor densities; 4 Covariant derivatives; 5 Parallel transport and geodesic lines; 6 The curvature of a manifold; flat manifolds; 7 Riemannian geometry

Written by experts in the field, this textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduates of physics and astronomy provides a thorough introduction to general relativity. The most important results are derived completely, enabling you to develop the expertise in the mathematical techniques necessary to study general relativity.
