Description: Einstein's theory of general relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics. It also touches upon a wealth of topics that students find fascinating black holes warped spacetime gravitational waves and cosmology. Now reissued by Cambridge University Press this ground - breaking text helped to bring general relativity into the undergraduate curriculum making it accessible to virtually all physics majors. One of the pioneers of the 'physics - first approach to the subject renowned relativist James B. Hartle recognized that there is typically not enough time in a short introductory course for the traditional mathematics - first approach. In this text he provides a fluent and accessible physics - first introduction to general relativity that begins with the essential physical applications and uses a minimum of new mathematics. This market - leading text is ideal for a one - semester course for undergraduates with only introductory mechanics as a prerequisite.
