This method allows the complete theory to be constructed starting from a small number of assumptions, and is the most natural approach in modern theoretical physics. The book begins by reviewing Newtonian mechanics and Newtonian gravity with the Lagrangian formalism and the principle of least action, and then moves to special and general relativity. Most calculations are presented step by step, as is done on the board in class. The book covers recent advances in gravitational wave astronomy and provides a general overview of current lines of research in gravity. It also includes numerous examples and problems in each chapterSummary: Introduction -- Special Relativity -- Relativistic mechanics -- Electromagnetism -- Riemannian Geometry -- General Relativity -- Einstein’s Gravity -- Schwarzschild Spacetime -- Classical Tests of General Relativity -- Black Holes -- Cosmological Models -- Gravitational wavesPPN: PPN: 1026848784Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-PHA | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXP
