Description: First Course in General Relativity, Hardcover by Schutz, Bernard, ISBN 1108492673, ISBN-13 9781108492676, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US "Clarity, readability and rigor combine in the third edition of this widely used textbook to provide the first step into general relativity for advanced undergraduate students with a minimal background in mathematics. Topics within relativity that fascinate astrophysics researchers and students alike are covered with Schutz's characteristic ease and authority, from black holes to relativistic objects, from pulsars to the study of the Universe as a whole. This third edition contains discoveries by astronomers that require general relativity for their explanation; two chapters on gravitational waves, including direct detections of gravitational waves and the impact of their observation on cosmological measurements; new information on black holes and neutron stars; and greater insight into the expansion of the Universe. Over 300 exercises, many new to this edition, give students the confidence to work with general relativity and the necessary mathematics, while the informal writing style and worked examplesmake the subject matter easily accessible"--
