Description
This introduction to tensor calculus, relativity and cosmology provides a clear and accessible framework for understanding complex concepts. By focusing on the aspects of tensor calculus and relativity that students often find most challenging, this book helps build confidence in mathematical foundations before exploring more advanced topics.
Additional subjects covered include black holes, gravitational waves, and the application of general relativity to cosmology. The text is supported by numerous exercises designed to advance theoretical understanding and enhance its appeal to students of applied mathematics and physics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
