By: Prasanna, A. R [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Boca Raton, FL : CRC Press, Taylor & Francis Group, [2017]Copyright date: ©2017Description: 1 online resource (xxv, 397 pages).Content type: text Media type: computer Carrier type: online resourceISBN: 9781315368702; 9781315332628; 9781498746656.Subject(s): Gravitation | General relativity (Physics)Additional physical formats: Print version: : No titleDDC classification: 521.1 Online resources: Click here to view.
Contents:
Mathematical preliminaries -- Pre relativity physics -- Special relativity -- General relativity -- Exact solutions and applications -- Astrophysical applications -- Accretion dynamics -- Inertial forces in general relativity -- Gravity as a gauge theory.
Summary: This book suitable for post graduates in Physics and Astrophysics aims at introducing the theory of general relativity as an important background for doing astrophysics. Starting from a detailed discussion of the various mathematical concepts for doing general relativity, the book introduces the geometric description of gravity. It gives a brief historical perspective to classical mechanics and electrodynamics making an attempt to establish the necessity of special relativity as propounded by Einstein extending to General Relativity. This book is a good starting point for post graduates wanting to pursue the modern topics of Cosmology, High energy astrophysics and related areas-- Provided by publisher.
