Gravity: An Introduction to Einstein’s General Relativity 1st Edition by James B. Hartle (PDF)

Description

Einstein’s theory of general relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics. It also touches upon a wealth of topics that students find fascinating – black holes, warped spacetime, gravitational waves, and cosmology. Now reissued by Cambridge University Press, this ground-breaking text helped to bring general relativity into the undergraduate curriculum, making it accessible to virtually all physics majors. One of the pioneers of the ‘physics-first’ approach to the subject, renowned relativist James B. Hartle, recognized that there is typically not enough time in a short introductory course for the traditional, mathematics-first, approach. In this text, he provides a fluent and accessible physics-first introduction to general relativity that begins with the essential physical applications and uses a minimum of new mathematics. This market-leading text is ideal for a one-semester course for undergraduates, with only introductory mechanics as a prerequisite.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a great reference for General Relativity and I would like to add it to my Kindle library, but only the cover is downloaded after purchase. Amazon, if you read these reviews, look at your product and sell me the whole book. I returned the cover for a refund.WHEN WILL IT BE READY FOR SALE? I STILL WOULD LIKE TO ADD IT TO MY KINDLE LIBRARY.

⭐My following comments are directed to the Kindle version of this book. I find virtually all of the equations to be nearly useless. They all appear to be images so that to get a good view you have to jump out of the TEXT view and go into the Kindle’s IMAGE view where ONLY the image is seen. This means you instantly lose context – and for somebody just learning this material, this is very unhelpful. In addition, some of the formula/images are so small in the text that my fingers (which aren’t abnormally large) have a difficult time getting the image to expand. As a book this product appears to be solid. In USE I find it frustrating. I do not believe I will ever purchase another Kindle textbook (in physics or engineering or other science). It is just to frustrating to use.

⭐Good textbook, very nice in hardback

⭐excelente livro; vale o preço.Adorei o livro, muito didático, excelente para um aluno da graduação em física, cobre bastante coisas, com um bom rigor matemático
