Recenzii
'The approach in the book is unique and especially valuable for the student first encountering General Relativity. It shows in detail the computational steps involved in gaining the main results.' Rainer Weiss, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
'I think this is an excellent introduction to General Relativity and its important applications to cosmology and gravitational wave astrophysics for the serious student who has not experienced the necessary mathematical formalism before and who is willing to follow the text and attempt the many examples. It is an ideal lead in to many of the more sophisticated modern textbooks which are now available.' Prof. Sir James Hough, OBE FRS FRSE

Notă biografică
Ed Daw is Professor of Particle Astrophysics at the University of Sheffield. He has worked as an experimental physicist since 1998, on searches for dark matter and gravitational waves. His work on gravity led him to volunteer to teach general relativity at Sheffield, which he has continued to do from 2003 until the present. He considers general relativity a hobby, albeit one that is crucial to underpin his understanding of his own research. He also enjoys trying to explain hard things in simple terms, a very good habit for a professor.
Descriere
A gentle introduction to general relativity, striking a balance between ease of use and precision, for all undergraduates in physics.
