Employing the pedagogical style of a textbook, it includes essential ideas and just enough background material needed for readers to appreciate the issues and current research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBasics\u003c\/em\u003eThe first five chapters form the core of an introductory course on general relativity. The author traces Einstein's arguments and presents examples of space-times corresponding to different types of gravitational fields. He discusses the adaptation of dynamics in a Riemannian geometry framework, the Einstein equation and its elementary properties, and different phenomena predicted or influenced by general relativity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond\u003c\/em\u003eMoving on to more sophisticated features of general relativity, the book presents the physical requirements of a well-defined deterministic framework for non-gravitational dynamics and describes the characterization of asymptotic space-times. After covering black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmological space-times, the book examines the evolutionary interpretation for the class of globally hyperbolic space-times, explores numerical relativity, and discusses approaches that address the challenges of general relativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ghanashyam Date\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1466552719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781466552715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Ghanashyam Date","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088309367039,"sku":"9781466552715","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1157815d-7f99-40b8-8e6b-0110ae13b89f.jpg?v=1769104197","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/general-relativity-ghanashyam-date-9781466552715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
