An approach to Einstein's general relativity with a "physics-centric" perspective

Einstein's theory of general relativity is the cornerstone of modern physics. It encompasses a wealth of scientific topics such as curved spacetime, black holes, gravitational waves, and cosmology. General relativity increasingly shapes modern physics and astronomy, making it the foundation of an undergraduate physics course. The goal of this groundbreaking book is to make this fundamental theory accessible to undergraduate students. Using a "physics-centric" approach, with minimal new mathematics and numerous applications, renowned relativist James Hartle provides a clear and accessible introduction for physicists and others interested in the defining achievements of modern science.
