General relativity and cosmology : a first encounter
Adler, Ronald J.
General relativity and cosmology : a first encounter - Switzerland : Springer, 2021. - xiv, 313p. - Graduate text in physics 1868-4513 .
Gravitational physics has now become a mainstream topic in physics and physics teaching. In particular cosmology and gravitational wave physics are at the focus of a great deal of current research. Thus it is important to introduce students to General Relativity as soon as reasonable. This textbook offers a brief but comprehensive treatment accessible to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and any physicist or mathematician interested in understanding the material in a short time. The author, an experienced teacher of the subject, has included numerous examples and exercises to help students consolidate the ideas they have learned. Solutions to the exercises are provided as supplementary material in the online chapters.
