This book unfolds the subject of Relativity for undergraduate students of physics. It fills a gap between introductory descriptions and texts for researchers. Assuming almost no prior knowledge, it allows the student to handle all the Relativity needed for a university course, w…
First treatment of Equations of Motion in General Relativity in book form in over 40 years Graduated presentation of highly technical material Links theory and observation Includes novel presentations of the relativistic motion of small black holes and choreographic configuratio…
Aimed at advanced undergraduates with background knowledge of classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism, this textbook presents both the particle dynamics relevant to general relativity, and the field dynamics necessary to understand the theory. Focusing on action extrem…
