Description

This introductory textbook provides a clear and precise introduction to General Relativity, black holes, and cosmology. Written for mathematics students interested in physics and physics students interested in exact mathematical formulations, the book covers the foundations and main consequences of General Relativity with precision and simplicity.

Recent experimental and observational results confirming the theory are also described, making it accessible to anyone with a scientific mind curious about the world we live in. The book is divided into two parts: Part A aims at undergraduate students and provides the basis for a course on General Relativity, while Part B offers more advanced topics without requiring sophisticated mathematics.

The updated edition includes new sections and chapters on black holes, gravitational waves, singularities, and specific solutions, providing readers with a solid foundation to model the latest astrophysical and cosmological observations.
