A PDF ebook of the first English translation of Einstein's 1920 book on the theory of relativity, with corrections and footnotes. The book is intended for readers with a general scientific and philosophical interest, but not familiar with mathematical physics.
General relativity is the theory of space and time and gravity. The essence of the theory is simple: gravity is geometry. The effects that we attribute to the force of gravity are due to the bending and warping of spacetime, from falling cats, to orbiting spinning planets, to the motion of the cosmos on the grandest scale. The purpose of
A PDF file of notes for a graduate course on general relativity, covering manifolds, geometry, gravitation, weak fields, black holes, and cosmology. The notes are based on the author's experience teaching at MIT and UC Santa Barbara, and include references to other books and sources.
A PDF file of lecture notes on general relativity, covering the physical motivations, the mathematical formalism, and some applications. The notes are written by Gerard 't Hooft, a Nobel laureate in physics, and are available on his home page.
General Relativity is the classical theory that describes the evolution of systems under the e ect of gravity. Its history goes back to 1915 when Einstein postulated that the laws of gravity can be expressed as a system of equations, the so-called Einstein equations. In order to formulate his theory, Einstein had to reinterpret fundamental ...
A PDF file containing the lecture notes for a course on general relativity at the University of Cambridge. The notes cover topics such as Newtonian gravity, special relativity, differential geometry, tensor calculus, and the Einstein field equations.
A PDF document that covers the basic concepts, equations and applications of general relativity, the theory of gravitation in curved spacetime. It includes topics such as special relativity, tensors, geodesics, metric, Einstein equation, Schwarzschild solution, gravitational waves and cosmology.
