Gravity

An introduction to Einstein's general relativity

Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity is a cornerstone of modern physics. It also touches upon a wealth of topics that readers find fascinating-black holes, warped spacetime, gravitational waves, and cosmology.

Physics first

Until now it has not been included in the curriculum of many undergraduate physics courses because the required math is too advanced. Using a physics first approach to the subject, renowned relativist James Hartle provides a fluent and accessible introduction that uses a minimum of new mathematics and illustrates a wealth of applications.
For college instructors and students.
