Employing the pedagogical style of a textbook, it includes essential ideas and just enough background material needed for readers to appreciate the issues and current research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBasics\u003c\/em\u003eThe first five chapters form the core of an introductory course on general relativity. The author traces Einstein’s arguments and presents examples of space-times corresponding to different types of gravitational fields. He discusses the adaptation of dynamics in a Riemannian geometry framework, the Einstein equation and its elementary properties, and different phenomena predicted or influenced by general relativity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond\u003c\/em\u003eMoving on to more sophisticated features of general relativity, the book presents the physical requirements of a well-defined deterministic framework for non-gravitational dynamics and describes the characterization of asymptotic space-times. After covering black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmological space-times, the book examines the evolutionary interpretation for the class of globally hyperbolic space-times, explores numerical relativity, and discusses approaches that address the challenges of general relativity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54257263116632,"sku":"9781466552715","price":235.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781466552715_66b2b4a2-d730-4d2e-8f0e-76e022f60849.jpg?v=1777607142","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/general-relativity-5","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
