John Wiley & Sons Inc Gravitation And Cosmology : Principles And Applications Of The General Theory Of Relativity by Steven Weinberg
A leading physicist delves into relativity and experimental applicationsGravitation and Cosmology: Principles and Applications of the General Theory of Relativity offers a Nobel laureates perspectives on the wealth of data technological developments have brought to expand upon Einsteins theory. Unique in basing relativity on the Principle of Equivalence of Gravitation and Inertia over Riemannian geometry, this book explores relativity experiments and observational cosmology to provide a sound foundation upon which analyses can be made. Covering special and general relativity, tensor analysis, gravitation, curvature, and more, this book provides an engaging, insightful introduction to the forces that shape the universe.show more
