{"product_id":"postprincipia-peter-rastall-9789810207786","title":"Postprincipia: Gravitation for Physicists and Astronomers","description":"This is a book that fills the gap between Newtonian gravitation and sophisticated, relativistic theories. It will enable the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate student to learn the postnewtonian theory that is necessary to account for precise, modern observations. No knowledge of differential geometry is assumed -- the required, geometrical ideas are dealt with, as they arise, in their physical context. The book will be useful as an introduction to relativistic theories. Professional physicists and astronomers will be interested in the way the postnewtonian theory is derived as an almost trivial generalization of the Newtonian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Rastall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9810207786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789810207786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e World Scientific Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Peter Rastall","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448059080959,"sku":"9789810207786","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4ae9360-c26a-47b3-ab0e-256730c9128e.jpg?v=1777236616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/postprincipia-peter-rastall-9789810207786","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
