This book is based on a set of 18 class-tested lectures delivered to fourth-year physics undergraduates at Griffith University in Brisbane, and the book presents new discoveries by the Nobel-prize winning LIGO collaboration.
They prepared to search for it in 1964, but were scooped by two engineers at nearby Bell Labs, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, who reported a noise signal that they could not eliminate from their sensitive microwave antenna, ...
Very applications oriented, the text includes very recent results, such as the supermassive black-hole in our galaxy and first double pulsar system This text provides a comprehensive and timely introduction to general relativity.
An advanced textbook providing a clear mathematical introduction to general relativity and its physical applications.
This book provides a completely revised and expanded version of the previous classic edition ‘General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics’.
This book offers an alternative to other textbooks on the subject, providing a more specific discussion of numerous general relativistic effects for readers who have knowledge of classical mechanics and electrodynamics, including special ...
General Relativity: Black hole astrophysics
This is a short textbook on general relativity and gravitation aimed at readers with a broad range of interests in physics, from cosmology to high energy physics to condensed matter.
This book is an excellent introduction to the subjects of gravitation and space-time structure. It presumes a good background in special relativity, electrodynamics, and classical mechanics.
The book includes full discussions of many problems of current interest which are not treated in any extant book, and all these matters are considered with perception and understanding."—S.
Based on a course taught for years at Oxford, this book offers a concise exposition of the central ideas of general relativity.
This book provides a completely revised and expanded version of the previous classic edition ‘General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics’.
