Differential Forms and the Geometry of General Relativity (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Requiring little more than calculus and some linear algebra, this book provides readers with a coherent path to understanding relativity. It helps readers learn just enough differential geometry to grasp the basics of general relativity. The first half of the book describes some of the surprising implications of relativity without introducing more formalism than necessary. The second half takes a more detailed look at the mathematics of differential forms, showing how they are used to describe key geometric ideas in general relativity.
