Beskrivning
This comprehensive student manual has been designed to accompany the leading textbook by Bernard Schutz, A First Course in General Relativity, and uses detailed solutions, cross-referenced to several introductory and more advanced textbooks, to enable self-learners, undergraduates and postgraduates to master general relativity through problem solving. The perfect accompaniment to Schutz's textbook, this manual guides the reader step-by-step through over 200 exercises, with clear easy-to-follow derivations. It provides detailed solutions to almost half of Schutz's exercises, and includes 125 brand new supplementary problems that address the subtle points of each chapter. It includes a comprehensive index and collects useful mathematical results, such as transformation matrices and Christoffel symbols for commonly studied spacetimes, in an appendix. Supported by an online table categorising exercises, a Maple worksheet and an instructors' manual, this text provides an invaluable resource for all students and instructors using Schutz's textbook.

Recensioner i media

'Robert B. Scott has done a great service to students and instructors alike by compiling this superb Student's Manual to Bernard Schutz's A First Course in General Relativity, a classic introductory textbook on general relativity. Not only does Scott present exquisitely detailed solutions to Schutz's exercises, he also proposes a large number of his own problems to further test the student's understanding. The student will benefit greatly from this resource, and will be eased into the subject by Scott's excellent advice.' Eric Poisson, University of Guelph, Ontario

  1. 5/5 David L

    Vissa tycks vara lite förvirrade kring vad "A student's manual" innebär. Det betyder lösta uppgifter med detaljerade härledningar. Matematiken i denna förutsätter multivariabel analys, partiella differential ekvationer och linjär algebra. Om du har de förkunskaperna, och textboken till för genomgång så är det en väldig välskriven och intressant resa författaren tar en på genom många applikationer inklusive svarta hål, gravitationsvågor och big bang

  2. 3/5 Ernst

    En typisk övningsbok med lösningar till huvudbokens uppgifter.
    Innehåller även egna nya uppgifter.
    Bra i sig, men kunde ha innehållit lite mer av teori och förklaringar.
