    • Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology : A Basic Introduction, Paperback by Cheng, Ta-Pei, ISBN 0199573646, ISBN-13 9780199573646, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK

      In this text, Cheng (Physics [emeritus], University of Missouri--St. Louis) introduces students to Einstein's general theory of relativity, with an emphasis on physical examples and simple applications. Topics include special relativity in the formalism of Minkowski's four-dimensional space-time, the principle of equivalence, Riemannian geometry and tensor analysis, Einstein's field equation, and cosmology. Cheng also discusses modern topics in cosmology such as inflation and cosmic microwave anisotropy to the "dark energy" that propels as accelerating universe. This text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students, and for readers who want to study general relativity on their own. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
